[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Yes I am specifically interested in how to build out the 1st ST NE bike lane so that it is long enough to be useful for commuting from U Station to MV. Would also need a way to safely cross over from 1st NE to MV, but could probably figure something out. [/quote] I used to drive that stretch every day last year when my daughter was at the Bright Horizons at FERC. I realize the bike lane is "protected" but I have to say that whole stretch is a terrifying freaking nightmare. Between the pedestrians, bikes, commuter shuttles, cabs, and cars in that area, I honestly think it is a miracle that I never got in an accident and/or ran over someone. Seriously. The people coming out of Union Station go across the street without looking, and not in crosswalks. I would try biking it at rush hour, OP, before you see it as a legitimate commuting option. There is no way in hell I would do it with a child.[/quote]
