[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This makes me SO angry.  I live in the neighborhood and am sick of cars speeding through not caring that it's a pedestrian neighborhood.  I hope to GOD that child is ok and the driver gets punished![/quote]

Constitution is a MAJOR westbound COMMUTING ROUTE from Maryland. DC has not done anything to establish commuting routes and keep people out of neighborhoods. In fact, I contend that no systemic urban planning has occurred to account for commuter traffic-aside from the highway upgrades. It is a major problem, with no end in sight. The solutions seem to be piecemeal and just puts traffic on to different neighborhood streets. Pennsylvania Avenue, east of the Anacostia, major commuter/pseudo neighborhood DDOT, between Branch Ave and the Sousa Bridge took a lane to create a divided Main Street. Maryland Ave from 15th St, NE to 6th St, NE again major commuting route but instead of facilitating traffic flow, medians were erected, traffic flow restricted. I am not defending people speeding through the neighborhoods- but this is a systemic problem.[/quote]

If we are honest there is no such thing as a "neighborhood street" in the city core. Some get more traffic than others but your streets entire point of exsisting is to move city traffic, you just happen to live off of it. You don't do your argument much credit by proclaiming city life but wanting a sheltered  cul-de-sac. Every street in CH is a potential cut through if needed.[/quote]
