[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]

All closing streets to traffic does is force traffic onto other smaller streets that weren't designed for so many cars. [/quote]

That's empirically false.[/quote]

Ok, so first there are traffic jams when driving options reduced, and later, there aren't.  That your point?  In dream land the reason traffic jams created by lane removal eventually go away is because the car drivers start riding bikes, e scooters, metro, buses, ride sharing.  But this isn't what happens.   People adjust their lives to stop needing to make that commute and.... city centers die.    [/quote]
