[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If we ever get back to normal, L Street NW will be a parking lot.  20th Street also.  in many places there is only one lane that goes through, where there used to be 3 or 4 lanes.  I drive kids to school in the morning  and then proceed to my office downtown.  Metro and biking are not an option.[/quote]

Where do you live that metro and bike are not an option?  Why did you choose a school that requires you to drive your kids to school?  Why did you choose a job that requires you to drive?  Why did you choose to live where you have to drive to school and work?  There are massive amounts of public transportation to get to near 20th and L; the city is not required to make it easy for you to drive there [/quote]
You don’t have kids in DC do you? Half of all kids in DC attend charter schools and about 10-15% of kids attend out of boundary school. For a huge number of parents of kids 12 and under in all DC neighborhoods, their day involves dropping their kids off at school in a car.

Your smug and condescending post belays a disturbing level of ignorance about the very thing you are discussing. [/quote]

DP - for middle school and high school my kid went to a charter in Penn Quarter (BASIS).  We live in Southwest.  Mornings, unless it was bad weather, I'd walk with him every day.  Otherwise the green line or 74 bus worked just fine.  A huge group of kids came from Capitol Hill, many walked or biked.  But all in all there weren't actually all that many cars dropping off and picking up.  [/quote]
