[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the subway is going to be unusable, and everyone is fine with that, then we need to accommodate people where they are -- in cars.

There are going to be far more people on the roads and that means we need a lot more parking, more emphasis on easing traffic, etc. Ridership on the subway is down 75 percent from pre-pandemic levels.

I didnt used to drive all that much, but now with the subway basically in moth balls, I drive everywhere.

You know what frees up parking and reduces car traffic? More transit.[/quote]
Exactly. And because public right of way is limited and digging holes in the ground is expensive, that transit should go where these underutilized bike lines are. [/quote]

Okay, do you have a half width bus to sell the city that fits in bike lanes?  Or do you want to take all the parking out too?  Maybe we can get all the car people to yell at you for a change.  I think we should prioritize spending on mass public transit but I’m super confused as to why any thread about DC traffic devolves into drivers yelling about cyclists as if all their problems started and ended with the (apparently nonexistent?) DC bicycles.[/quote]
