[quote=Anonymous]Someone explained to me that the bike lanes are part and parcel of the plan to remake Connecticut Avenue as a new urban "Main Street" neighborhood with signficant dense mixed use infill development, especially near Metro stations. The area will become more like NoMa or Navy Yard, but maybe not quite as tall. This will result in new restaurants and businesses coming in and more residents moving to the area who will be customers of those businesses. Clearly a more vibrant Connecticut Avenue will be oriented to a younger, more athletic demographic that values walkability, biking and other alternative modes of transportation. Bike lanes are therefore an important part of this vision. It will necessarily lead to the loss of businesses that cater to an older demographic who depend on convenient parking in proximity, but that is the overall vision..[/quote]
