[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not only is no one suggesting a traffic calming device but the PP posted all commuter routes with one thing in common that Reno Rd. doesn't have-- multiple lanes in each direction. Reno is one lane in each direction all the time. It is also a strictly residential road without a single commercial building the entire length. Think of that. Zero commerce on it. Please don't compare it to any of the other roads. It is more akin to C Street NE but even that has parking and commercial buildings. [/quote]

Exactly. Reno is not a commuter street -- it is one-lane-per-direction commuter short cut through entirely residential neighborhoods with the pedestrian traffic of 10+ schools and nursery schools (and 6 major playgrounds) crossing it during rush hour. Multiple stretches of it have 15 mph school zone speed limits, school crossing guards, etc., no part of it exceeds 25 mph. Why anyone would use this as their "fast" road to work -- and complain that the safety of the neighborhood school children is ruining their commuting time -- is beyond reason.

[b]Too many children have been hit by cars along this route. If you are in a hurry, choose another road.[/b][/quote]

Nobody who is in a hurry is looking to DCUM for commuting shortcuts.   :roll: [/quote]
