The intersection at 13th and Constitution is also crossed by Tennessee Ave.  I don't think you could govern an intersection like that without traffic lights.

Speed bumps would be better if you ask me, but I'm not a traffic engineer.  Other schools on the Hill have the bumps, why not Maury?[/quote]

How hard would it be to have a crossing guard for a few more hours afterschool too, until aftercare closes?  [/quote]

I would prefer bumps in the neighborhood.  It's unsafe for these children to return home.  [b]Lincoln Park, a stone's throw from Maury, is dangerous to walk to because of the animals going around Lincoln Park at 40mph. [/b] C street NE is terrifying for even adults to cross.  Something has to be done.  Charles Allen gets complaints about this every day.  The DOT has also been informed.  I've been there.  They just don't care.  Allen is a do-nothing idiot, and the Bowser administration prioritizes the needs of commuters over those who did not vote for her in Ward 6.  Charles Allen wants to lay low and stay elected - he thinks methadone clinics, no viable middle school, and dangerous streets are okay so long as he stays in "power".[/quote]

I cringe painfully whenever I see a parent biking with a small child around Lincoln Park.  I feel it's only a matter of time before one gets hit.  [/quote]

and yet parents bike around Lincoln Park all the time with small children and do fine.  There are speed bumps on both the northern and southern sides and clearly marked crosswalk aside from the lights.  this is just hyperbole.  The roads around Lincoln Park are not even a primary arterial routes for commuters. [/quote]

You're a fucking idiot.  It should not be a commuter street period. Doesn't matter that I-66 is worse- we don't need maniac drivers period. Try visiting Capitol Hill before you start talking about it. [/quote]

and you're a psychopath so what's your point?  I live nearby take this route daily and I'm not going to try to make a case using hyperbole or hysterics.  I don't like commuters looking for a short cut and there is steady traffic, but it's not dramatic and there are numerous traffic controlling measures in place.  The lights are predictable and easy to cross and most drivers will yield at crosswalks.  It's also not a straight shot without turn lanes like Constitution, Independence, Penn or much of Maryland which encourages speeding.

the commuters can go wherever they please.  Complaining about that is like yelling at clouds.  More Hill streets would benefit from calming measures but Lincoln Park is hardly the worst case.[/quote]
