[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anyone done the commute to Hyde? How is it coming from SW?[/quote]

I commute from SW to Hyde. I take Maine to Independence to Rock Creek to Whitehurst, right onto M and then up 33rd. Traffic flows surprisingly well most days due to the reversible lanes on Rock Creek.  Return home is either basically the same way reversed (Wisconsin to K then back around the Kennedy Center to Indepdendce to Maine), or sometimes (especially evenings) the GPS has you go over Key Bridge, VA 110 to 395 back into SW.

It’s 20 min each way in the morning (earliest you can drop off is 8:10 because they don’t have before care). I easily get back home, park, and walk to SW office by 8:45-9:00 am each day.

Evening can vary a lot by the time leave - if you are leaving SW before 4pm it’s 20-25 min there and 30-35 min home. If you wait til 5pm it’s 30-40 min there and 45+ min home. Much more subject to gridlock from things like IMF meetings, protests, motorcades, or accidents.

I thought I’d hate the commute but it hasn’t been bad and actually enjoy the one on one time on the way there and my solo 20 minutes of podcasts and drinking my coffee on the way back. Next year there will be at least four SW families with kids at Hyde and some of us are talking about carpooling. I can send a burner email to connect if you’re interested! [/quote]
