I can tell some of these people are lawyers lol It's like arguing with a hall monitor

Look yes you have a right to drive on Wis avenue in rush hour

Should you no, should steps be taken to make it easier to do it no, should steps be taken instead to make it more hospitable to drivers who are the vast vast majority of users of this route yes

Most of the people in the travel lanes on Wisconsin Avenue are drivers because the travel lanes on Wisconsin Avenue are inhospitable to people who aren't in cars. That's not an argument for staying off Wisconsin Avenue unless you're in a car; it's an argument for making Wisconsin Avenue more hospitable to everybody, whether they're in cars or not. Why DC would want to prioritize the desires of car commuters from the suburbs over the desires of its own residents, I can't understand.[/quote]

Because DC has an interest in making rush hours as short as possible? And because the vast majority of knowledge workers are from the suburbs?[/quote]

No DC has an interest in making the city livable for its residents.  Now there could be some overlap with your suggestion that they make rush hours shorter but there is not likely to be overlap with making the cities streets inhospitable for pedestrians and cyclists to benefit suburbanites who neither vote nor pay taxes in DC.[/quote]
