[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Doesn’t DDOT need to re-do their traffic impact study of Connecticut Avenue Option C with the now-planned closure of Beach Drive?  The Post article show Beach Drive as the closest N-S alternative to Connecticut Ave.  But that won’t be an option going forward.  [/quote]

No, because Beach has been closed for over two years. We can see how it is going to be, which is not different than it is today.

Really a nothingburger.[/quote]

You incorrectly assume traffic volumes aren’t going to increase as more people return to an office, even if only part-time.[/quote]

They can take public transit or bike if the new traffic patterns are that big of a problem for them.

This thread is filling me full of schadenfreude knowing that all the car addicts are seething with impotent rage, grasping at "but what if!" straws when in reality that road is closed for good and it's never coming back.

Cope.[/quote]

If Trump gets elected again (highly probable), reopening Beach Drive is totally something he'd do just to piss of Ds.

You be sure to cope then. :lol: [/quote]

What are you talking about?! I’m a D and want it open. I think the breakdown of supporting reopening is if you live near RCP with kids. Not a single neighbor with kids supports this because of the increase car traffic in the neighborhoods.[/quote]

Those with kids and those that frequent both sides of the park want it open.  Those without kids and those that don't frequent the "other" side don't want it reopened.[/quote]
