[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone who thinks eliminating the rush hour traffic pattern will cut accidents on Conn Ave hasn't driven that route lately.

Hope sense prevails and they reopen Beach Drive - [b]if there are bike lanes on Conn, why preserve an alternate route solely for bikes?[/b]

The outcome here will be more WFH (and more catastrophic impact on downtown businesses and office space) and more neighborhood cut-throughs by commuters. Enjoy! [/quote]

If there are car lanes on Connecticut, why do drivers need an alternate route through a park?[/quote]

Why do bikes need any of the roads all to themselves? You already have the trails. If the major car commuter route is now half car/half bike, the other local commuter road needs to reopen.

Honestly, this is just a terrible idea. I foresee many, many bike accidents on Conn from cars turning right.[/quote]

Why do you need to drive to work through a park?

Fortunately, there's lots of information in design guides about how to design bike lanes to protect bicyclists from drivers turning right.[/quote]

Because it is the only way to get from East of the Park to West of the Park, and you need to go that route to get to Rock Creek Parkway from EOTP. The alternative is going through Columbia or Harvard streets which are complete disasters at all time.

I guess if you can afford to live WOTP you wouldn’t get it. [/quote]

To get to RCP from EOTP go down 16th St to Blagden and you can get on Beach drive and connect right to RCP.

Signed, EOTP resident who finds the drama about not being able to drive down Beach vastly overblown. [/quote]
