[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Connecticut Avenue is not going to revert back. The reversible lanes are permanently gone. The only question at this point is if there will be bike lanes or not.[/quote]
The only decision made was not to resume them on June 1.[/quote]
Seems like this whole thread is presuming a lot. Any actual change to Connecticut,  if/when a final decision is made on the proposed bike lanes, [b]will take many years to implement in any case[/b]. [/quote]

Why?

I wish the Connecticut Ave bike lanes would go all the way north to the Purple Line station. [/quote]
Because that’s what DDOT says. Bike lanes require engineering solutions will take the longest to implement. Just removing the reversible lanes and restriping will be the quickest, but then no bike lanes. DDOT has not made a final decision about what it wants to do. Local businesses favor any solution the removes the rush hour parking restrictions and maintains the street parking. However that interest directly contradicts bike lanes, unless they make Connecticut one lane if car travel in each direction, which would be interesting. [/quote]
