Exactly.  But with Beach Drive closed, Connecticut Ave. potentially reduced from 4 lanes to 2 lanes at rush hour, Wisconsin Ave. constrained by lanes closed for "streeteries" and the induced traffic of a new magnet town center, including DC's only Wegman's, what will the "different route" be?  Will commuter traffic be flushed through neighborhood streets even more than before, so that you can have your "vibrant" Connecticut Avenue?  And speaking of "walkable," its not very walkable when some lycra-clad cyclist, pretending he's in the Tour de France rather than in Chevy Chase or Cleveland Park, hits a pedestrian who walks across "his" bike lane.[/quote]

You really need to update your cliches. "Lycra-clad cyclist," indeed. My jeans have lycra in them. I guess that means that when I'm riding my bike wearing jeans, I'm a lycra-clad cyclist.

Not to mention that 2 lanes of cars plus 2 lanes of bikes are far safer for pedestrians than 4 lanes of cars.[/quote]
