[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There also may be misguided “equity” notion at play here with the Connecticut Ave plan.  Why should commuter traffic be directed primarily to use major avenues like Connecticut Ave which tend to have more renters who live in multifamily buildings?  Why not spread the traffic burden more equitably including to streets where more single family homeowners live? [/quote

There are some really idiotic posts on here from the anti-bike lane crowd who frankly are only thinking about their own desire to drive aggressively.

What alternative residential side streets would ever be faster than Connecticut Avenue?

Even allowing for the fact that there is a lot of aggressive driving and rolling of stop signs there is no scenario/combo of alternate north south streets that would ever match the carrying capacity or speed of driving on Connecticut Avenue.

But again what is weird about this is the roadway capacity is barely cut during rush hour and will be improved outside of rush hour because there will be queuing lanes at most intersections.

And if you've spent any time on our streets during the AM & PM rush hours the last year you'd know that traffic volumes are still way down during rush hour but are up outside of rush hour - and wow guess what - the proposed changes to Connecticut Avenue perfectly match that change in driving patterns.[/quote]
