[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For CT Ave, I don't think the bike lines are a great idea, but I'm pro-bus. In terms of sheer numbers,[b] if you have dedicated bus lanes with more frequent buses,[/b] that would move the most people around with the least impact to the climate. I also think they should make the bus free or nearly free for DC residents to encourage using the bus. IMHO I don't think that many people will use CT Ave bike lanes (it's too steep for most of it) and it will be a net climate negative, as it creates more car congestion so cars are idling longer and creating more pollution. I also think a lot of traffic will be diverted to side streets which could lead to pedestrians being hit. (There are already many drivers who zoom down these streets.) [/quote] The public has asked this of WMATA for years and they have gone in the opposite direction. Unless or until that changes, the bike lanes are the next best solution.[/quote]
