I’ve been enjoying adding these streets to my commute instead of Arizona. I open the moonroof and enjoy the tree cover. It’s a very nice drive. Not sure if it saved any time but I wouldn’t even try to drive away from UT/CBR again thanks to this thread

It's weird and nasty to advocate harassing residents and compromising their safety by encouraging thousands of thru-commuter trips on residential side streets.

It’s not harassment to be able to drive on a taxpayer funded street.

It’s in fact harassment to try to privatize a road. Now read this thread from the first page again

Because it’s really really bad and yet y’all pretend like it isn’t there. It’s perplexing to watch UT and CBR try to hold on to the former glory of sorts

And very well deserved.

Enjoy the flight path and the traffic. Maybe try for another overlay? You’ve harassed your neighbors for about 30 years with the current one but times they are a-changing.

295 should be either demolished or tunnelized. Like many urban highways constructed across the US aim the 50s, it was an economic wrecking ball for black neighborhoods. There is no single thing that the city could to revitalize communities EOTR than to get rid of that road and restore access to the waterfront.

L-O-L

Generations of poverty, violence, and illness created by big dumb infrastructure projects may be a joke to you, but I assure you that it’s not to those who have experienced it.

Good article on what this road has done to those who have the misfortune to live on the wrong side of it: https://ggwash.org/view/81903/both-route-295-and-railroads-divide-neighborhoods-in-northeast-dc

The fact that you provide a link to a GGW article is perfect.

295 blocking access to Bolling AFB and Anacostia Park is not creating poverty. You’re an idiot.

Poverty is not a joke to me but you certainly are.

Why bother with any semblance of knowledge or logic when you can just sling insults across the internet? It’s sad that you are an actual person and even sadder that you have nothing better to do than spend your time on here typing such tripe. I can only hope that things get better for you soon.

Why do posters tack on sentiments like this when it is plain they are insincere? Just finish insulting the person and hit submit.

Anyone deluded enough to exhibit total ignorance of an issue while running around calling others idiots has serious issues that are worthy of sympathy, not scorn.

Did you just arrive from Mars or something? That highways - like 295 - decimated black inner city communities is foundational American history. I’d recommend this for starters: https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2016/03/role-of-highways-in-american-poverty/474282/. 295 is certainly not the sole cause of the problems EOTR, but there is no doubt that those neighborhoods would be significantly improved were the highway to be covered or dismantled entirely. One of the few positives of the Big Dig was what it did for downtown Boston (https://www.bostonglobe.com/magazine/2015/12/29/years-later-did-big-dig-deliver/tSb8PIMS4QJUETsMpA7SpI/story.html).

What is the obsession on the flight path ? ? I don’t understand why the continuous mention. What does that have to do with the weird road closure attempt?

Closing the road to through traffic has nothing to do with safety. Nothing.

Back to the issue. Drive freely on UT and CBR folks. Don’t let a small group deluded to sink $$$$ into a failing flight corridor win
