[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This sucks. When I bought my home, I looked at road options for commuting, and that was a major draw
Now, if there's a blockage of Military Rd after 14th st to StJohns, what do emergency vehicles do? Where's the workaround?
Very shortsighted decision [/quote]

Well, hopefully [b]cars get out of the way of the ambulance[/b].  Not entirely sure ambulances would have used Beach drive anyway[/quote]
That's the issue, there's NO PLACE for cars to go. It's 2 lanes each way with walls on either side. Take a look at a map of the area

[/quote]

and turn lanes at many intersections, so, plenty of places for cars to get out of the way.[/quote]Wrong. Clearly you haven't actually driven that stretch. Some of the rods are underpasses to military, NOT intersections[/quote]

I was referring to Connectucut Avenue, not Beach Drive.

Emergency vehices will always be able to access Beach Drive. This has never been controversial or a question.[/quote]Emergency vehicles will need to unlock the gates which block traffic Will all emergency vehicles  have keys?[/quote]
