Just think critically for 8 seconds.  Everybody who uses Reno Rd. in the morning -- and that is a shitload of people from all over Maryland and DC, getting to work and a variety of schools, not just Murch -- has a stake in the cluster$*#% that could happen with a new class of left-hand turners into a new garage off Reno.   And/or an all-new traffic light 25 feet away from the Davenport light.  If you know anything at all about DCDOT traffic "planning", you can be sure those two lights 25 feet apart will never, ever be synchronized.

Haha smug (probably) millennial and GGW sycophant.   I commute by bike most days and so does my tween son, who rides past Murch to a different school down the road.

Cyclists who obey the law will [u]also[/u] be caught up in this looming congestion quagmire.   Pedestrians, of which I am also one, smug PP,  bear the consequences of drivers who unleash their frustration after sitting thorough 3 traffic lights in one block. The Md commuters especially love to blow through lights and challenge pedestrians in crosswalks in that exact area (nebraska, chevy chase parkway, Fessenden especially).   [/quote]

Not the PP but wow. Clearly you have some anger issues to work on. There isn't a proposal to add an additional light in. The two lights (Nebraska and Davenport) would be able to handle the traffic flow but a traffic study is being done. As a bike/pedestrian commuter down Reno you know how crazy the traffic can be and how great the crossing guards are-- especially the one at Davenport who should run the training program for the city. As you may already know, plenty of left turns are already happening for drop off each morning in that area.  The good news is the teachers arrive earlier than students so it really would be everyone arriving at once and all trying to take lefts off of Reno.

I am sure you have already tried this but if not 36th is a much quieter street and runs parallel to Reno. I would never allow my child to ride a bike along Reno during rush hour. 36th is just one block away and much safer for children (and perhaps will lessen your anger).

Good points, all.[/quote]
