[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And closing off Chevy Chase between Western and Bradley does nothing more than make Friendship Heights untenable as a driver. If having all of the car traffic exhaust makes the quality of life better then so be it. I don't think making Wisconsin and River worse than it already is, is a good solution.

And cars aren't speeding down 42nd Street anymore, not with the calming circles.

Commuter and thru traffic should be on Wisconsin Ave,, no?  The residential streets of Clevy Chase Village would be a vastly different place if drivers could cut through those streets as a bypass around Friendship Heights -- I don't blame them at all for the traffic calming that's been put in.  In DC, you already see turn restrictions from Western Ave, into AU Park, and I expect more of the adjacent neighborhodds will ask for similar treatment in the next few years.  If this slows down traffic on Wisconsin further, then the planners need to rethink how much more density they want to put along the avenue.  Slower speeds may induce more people to take Metro as well.[/quote]
