[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Exactly. The city went through a three year engagement process with dozens of public meetings. The ANCs up and down Connecticut Avenue support the project as well as the Mayor, the Councimember and DDOT.

It is only now, AFTER the public engagement and votes and AFTER the money has been designated, that people are trying to use their entitled clout to reverse the decision because they happen not to like it.

They could have attended the same public meetings everyone else did. They could have spoken up on the neighborhood email groups etc. But the ANC commissioners and DDOT have all noted the overhwhelming  support from the community on this issue.

In other words, the complainers are the deep, but very vocal minority on the issue.

If you want to get involved and live in Ward 3, then reach out to the Ward 3 bikers group. If you are a DC or regional resident, then reach out to WABA.[/quote]

I have two small kids and a big job and still knew all about these changes. Which I very much support btw. I don’t own a bike but anything that slows the damn MD drivers down is fine by me. What’s your next excuse for why you couldn’t possibly have known about this and the city should cancel everything until you personally are on board?
People didnt even know this was happening. I didnt know until I saw the DCUM thread. People have busy lives. [/quote]

Many people knew. If you read this forum, or any of the neighborhood emaill groups, or receive CM Cheh's newsletter or the ANC email notices, you would have known about it.

[b]Really, you had to be living under a rock to miss it, and the fact that part of it happened during COVID meant the meetings were online, which meant even more people than normal participated[/b].[/quote]

You obviously don't have kids. If you one day have kids, you will laugh at how insane you sound. [/quote][/quote]
