[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Will be interesting to see how the traffic coming off rock creek at cathedral will back up on woodley and cathedral aves to get to reno with all of the school pick up the same time from Oyster, Maret and WIS. It is going to turn residential streets into a parking lot of idling cars[/quote]

They already are, and if you posting this as some future doom and gloom scenario, then you are clearly not familiar with the car back-ups on Woodley, Macomb, Catherdral, 29th etc between 2:30 and 3:30 every day.[/quote]

True.  Now picture how much worse it can get as many additional vehicles trying to divert around stuck Connecticut Avenue traffic.  That’s bound to happen when rush hour carrying capacity on Connecticut is bit by 50 percent![/quote]

It is already bad. We cannot build our way out of it with more travel lanes, so the best alternative is to provide safe options, including more buses and safe travel opportunity on bikes.

Maintaining the status quo doesn't help.

You may not believe this because YOU have no intention of riding a bike, but....Europe and Asia have shown that there is a better path. It is time for cities in the US to step up the way NYC has been doing.

So, here we are.[/quote]

None of that justifies making the situation objectively worse on purpose.[/quote]
