[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there an update on the competing petitions between Eddie Cano and Rosemary Bistro? Also will Rosemary Bistro close the streetery at end of 2024? So odd that there was so much vitriol and now, silence from all parties. Also curious how the traffic has been in mornings.[/quote]

Traffic flows pretty much unimpeded. The bottleneck north of Dupont is also not really much of an issue. The worst traffic at Calvert due to the left turn signal being a delayed one in a lane that can go south (straight) or east (left). A turning only lane, even if it is a short one, would help a lot.

One continuous issue on Connecticut and throughout the city is cars taking a right from the center lane. When there are pedestrians in the crosswalk, they block the rightmost traffic lane when they should pull into the right lane past parked cars to turn.  It is just laziness that causes drivers to have to slow down on their commute.[/quote]

What?  That's just wrong on so many levels.  For instance, Woodley Park ("the bottle neck north of Dupont") has the lowest level of traffic on all of Connecticut Ave.

Connecticut and Nebraska is [b]one of the most congested intersections in the entire DMV during rush hour[/b].  It sucks.[/quote]

One of the worst parts about the Internet is that you can just make stuff up and be wrong and anonymous. [/quote]

According to DDOT's own numbers it's the most congested intersection, on the most congested stretch of one of the most heavily trafficed roads in the City.  That intersection is so congested that even the neighboring side streets, like Albermarle, are now jam packed from people avoiding it.

Meanwhile you clearly don't live in the area and don't even know where the intersection is.

The congestion there is not solely related to the streetery but the streetery makes the intersection much worse and much less safe.  The pandemic is over.  Things are only going to get worse, especially if people start going back into the office on Mondays and Fridays.[/quote]

The streetery has almost no impact...there is a right turn arrow that virtually all of the drivers use. The through traffic is already in the center and left lane. The streetery is in the right lane. Do the math.[/quote]

Dear idiot: all the traffic is backed up all the way to hell in the center lane because anyone who's used this road on a prior morning understands that if they don't get over now, they never will.

Instead they'll be stuck in one place, contemplating the Kermit the Frog green Jersey barriers of Rosemary's in what should be the right lane of traffic.  [/quote]
