[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fabulous, so our traffic calming tactics are finally working on OP.

Honestly, Wisconsin is better than Reno. I live on Reno and I use Wisconsin Ave. because at every hour traffic moves better there.

The thing is, OP and especially clueless 10:01, Reno is a residential road, and there are students crossing it to get to approximately 25 different schools from nursery to college, and to access more than a dozen parks, playgrounds, and trails. Many have been hit by commuters. There are have been far too many car accidents and car versus bike accidents.  You call it unnecessary, but people who live here know that the danger has been unacceptable for some time now and is increasing.[/quote]

+1. Take the metro OP. Reno is a residential road. Wisconsin and Connecticut are also residential roads that have students, locals, etc crossing them daily so please SLOW DOWN and stop treating DC streets like race tracks. [/quote]

This NIMBY attitude reminds me of those naysayers who don't want a pool built at Hearst because it might disturb the tranquility of "their" neighborhood park.  Reno isn't some private road in a gated community.  It's a major arterial that already carries a lot of traffic and needs to be upgraded.   Yesterday, in fact.  Reno belongs to all of us, not to a few.  There's more traffic and we need more road capacity, and if serving the greater public interest means that D.C. needs to widen your "residential road," then I'm sorry.  You don't get a greater say because you live there.  D.C. Is One City.  And you can always move. [/quote]
