But notion that Glover Park is led by progressive YIMBYs is belied by facts. Facts like October 2021 ANC3B 5-0 resolution that strongly opposed a DDOT proposal to install bicycle lanes that would have made it safer for Ward 3 residents to get to school, work, and wherever else (https://anc3b.org/wp-content/uploads/ANC3B-bike-lane-resolution-signed-11-18-21-1.pdf), an argument that they felt the need to bolster by making up things about ANC3D.

Yes, there are NIMBYs in Foxhall and the Palisades. And there are also ample people in those neighborhoods who are sick of their quality of life being adversely affected by half-truths spread by a small number of people who want nothing in their neighborhood to change ever. This thread is good evidence of that. What is your point, exactly?[/quote]

Not to distract from the rest of the thread, but it's kinda interesting to think who is more 'YIMBY'.  Obviously none of Ward 3 is, in an absolute sense.  The best I could think of is population growth from 2010 to 2020:
ANC 3B (Glover Park) grew 12.2%
ANC 3D (Foxhall and Palisades) grew 6.9%
from https://planning.dc.gov/anc-smd-redistricting-data-maps

Reiterating this just being for fun, I'd match 3B's 37th Street (which I supported, and lost) with 3D's Dalecarlia Parkway debacle, and ongoing 'no sidewalk on or access to Chain Bridge except for residents'.  Plus the obvious trump card, grocery stores added![/quote]

Not to really derail the thread, but I'm as avid as bike commuter as they come and I had zero interest in supporting the proposed bike lane on Dalecarlia Pkwy. The topography is horrendous and it would have served few others than MD residents with easy access to the CCT. DDOT went after it because they thought it wouldn't invite much opposition as the road doesn't have any parking, but neglected to consider that it wasn't going to garner many supporters either.
