[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree OP. DC is lacking in east west corridors. This was a victory for the nearby property owners at the expense of the rest of DC.[/quote] Thirty years ago, there wasn't as much in terms of restaurants, stores and services east of Rock Creek Park as there was (perceived to be) west of the park. All that has changed a lot, so the notion that people needed this cross-town link for essential services is bogus. Wags did call it the 'private school highway', as it provided a fast short cut for Mt. Pleasant parents to reach WIS, Maret and the Cathedral schools. It seems like spending huge sums to build a road to modern standards (with wide shoulders, concrete decking over the creek, etc.) wasn't worth it for a private school shortcut.[/quote]
