[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yet again everyone talking about bikes and pedestrians and street improvements only talk as if downtown NW is the only part of the city that exists or matters. Some of you sound a bit out if touch (downtown def less populated due to nobody works in an office every day anymore in any city not bike lanes). I always hated driving downtown and prefer to find ways to metro there anyways, even before pandemic since I moved to DC. If they slow it down, or even shut down streets for restaurants I might go there more often on weekends as that sounds nice.

Regarding these topics, I have appreciated safety improvements on MD Ave NE and (in progress) C St NE near Elliot Hine which was an absolutely awful section of road by a school. Do not bike (other than trails) but drive kids to school and myself to work and the grocery store etc. and sometimes navigate getting kids across these roads on foot.

There are enough bikers on these roads that adding lanes makes sense.

I used to be against other things like traffic cameras until I had kids and now couldn't care less if DC puts them on every block and at every stop. 
DC/MD/VA drivers are actually worse then NY drivers IMO and I grew up near NY. [/quote]

the bike lanes on 19th are a vast improvement! used to be a racetrack and now it’s super chill. [/quote]

Agree! :)[/quote]
