[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Connecticut Avenue is already on a diet now that parking is allowed all day, no rush hour restrictions.  That should slow things down the same as bike lanes would.[/quote]
With the safety argument gone and the transportation argument quite dubious seeing that it is a major public transit corridor there is no rationale at all beyond providing an expensive amenity for a couple dozen of wealthy white people in a city where a lot of basic needs are not being met. This is the kind of thing a city does when it has a growing economy and is flush with cash. That is not the DC of 2023 and thankfully Mayor Bowser and the Council understand that very well.[/quote]

DC has the same poverty rate as West Virginia[/quote]
Is West Virginia planning any boondoggle transportation projects that will only benefit a handful of rich people?[/quote]

Exactly. DC has spent billions of dollars on bike lanes. [/quote]
Not sure about billions but certainly more than $100 million over the past decade.[/quote]
