[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At the same time they are pushing to get rid of a significant amount of the bus service in the same area - re: the 96 and the L2.  Buses are much more accessible to many people than the metro and  bike lanes and should not be cut back [/quote]

There is so much overlap with metrorail on this corridor that cutting the bus service actually makes sense. [/quote]

Way to demonstrate your keen knowledge of the area. You must be local. [/quote]

Van Ness -> Farragut/Dupont is all along CT ave. Not sure what that poster got incorrect.[/quote]

The other half of the road.

Van Ness -> Chevy Chase Circle[/quote]

Its less than a third of the distance and stops if we're being generous and assume no one can walk. A quarter if we assume people can walk a few blocks. [/quote]

It's exactly half.  It's 4 miles from Chevy Chase Circle to the Taft Bridge and Van Ness is the middle point.[/quote]

The L2 doesn't stop at the Taft Bridge. The L2 is a route to downtown, just like the red line which it parallels for 2/3 to 3/4 of its route.[/quote]

The L2 is the only mass transit from Chevy Chase Circle to Van Ness.  A portion of Connecticut that is exactly half of the proposed bike lane route.

These are things you would know if you actually lived in the area and weren't so comfortable lying.[/quote]
