[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bike Lane mafia is not doing so great in Ward 3.  Maybe time for a real conversation?[/quote]

All of the ANC's will still be pro-bike lane.
Frumin out-polled Cheh and is pro-bike lane.

IOW, bike lanes are happening.[/quote]

The ANC races are 50/50 on bike lanes. Siddiqui won by 6 votes. [b]Tandaric lost[/b].  The neighbors are sharply divided, now they are actually paying attention. Time for a reset. [/quote]

It appears the pro bike folks like both candidates in that race:

And Siddiqui was the biggest pro-bike person on ANC 3C and he had an opponent that spent a lot of money and had a lot of support from the Macwood contingent and CPCA/CPHS crowd and still won.

So yeah I think the pro bike crowd is pretty happy with this outcome.[/quote]

The election was about a lot more than bike lanes. Funny you say Siddiqui’s opponent spent a lot of money when Siddiqui and so many other ANC candidates doing GGW/CPSG’s bidding are heavily funded by Greater Greater Washington, Cleveland Park Smart Growth, the bike lobby, and the developers who stand to gain $$$$ from development not just on the avenues but up and down the residential side streets. There is a link on GGW website to fund Siddiqui and some of the other candidates GGW endorses. [/quote]

What development is taking place on the side streets of a historic district where almost all of the houses are contributing structures?

Like, none. Stop with the hyperbole.

The Macklin, first block of Newark St off Connecticut Ave. Developers citing 3 small apartment buildings on Rodman, Macomb, and Newark as precedent that should allow them to build apartment or luxury condo buildings on the side streets in that neighborhood. They’ve been eying historic Cleveland Park green spaces for a while. [/quote]

Umm the Macklin is literally on Connecticut Avenue.

And FWIW is much smaller than the small apartment buildings you are referencing which have co-existed with 2 million dollar single family homes without incident for 90 years![/quote]
