[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree OP. I live on a DC street that has experienced an exponential growth in cut through traffic due to the weekday closure of Beach Dr plus the reduction in drive lanes on Connecticut Ave.  A lot of this is rideshare drovers and Amazon/fed ex drivers who will never be eligible to take metro

This is a narrow east-west residential street and it’s utter bullshit that we suffer arterial-road levels of new traffic, all  because of 45 hardcore MAMILs who who want to get their miles in on Beach Drive on a Tuesday at 2:30 pm l[/quote]

Closing major roads to cars just forces traffic onto smaller roads that were never designed for it[/quote]

This has been proven to be false, time after time after time.[/quote]

Cite one, single DDOT study from the last 10 years that supports your claim.*  All of us who live in the neighborhoods east and west of RCP in the District will be very excited to review this data that we heretofore have never had access to.
----
* the traffic study undertaken by DDOT must not include any study conducted between March 15, 2020 and August 2021.  It must compare pre-lockdown traffic patterns and vehicle counts -- so pre-March 2020 -- to some point in time post-Beach Dr. closure.  [/quote]

Cite one study of where it did happen.[/quote]

Have you ever lived near a street that’s suddenly been closed? The traffic doesn’t just magically disappear into thin air. It just goes around.[/quote]

No, that's not a study. That's anecdote.[/quote]
