I’d prefer to see a street car or bus priority lane on K Street.
Both H and I streets have bus/bike lanes.
Both L and M streets have protected bike lanes.
There is no need to add more bike lanes.
Why the need to be able to drive down K when L and M can suffice? The bike lanes on L and M are good to connect to Georgetown and Foggy Bottom, but are useless for those coming to and from the CCT.
Either the administration is serious about revitalizing downtown by attracting residents and/or mitigating its climate impacts by encouraging carbon-free forms of transportation or it isn’t. Sadly it seems that this is just another example of the administration’s lack of commitment to making the city a better and healthier place to live.
"Useless" is probably overstating it -- I prefer protected bike lanes when I commute by bike, but that doesn't mean it's impossible to travel on other roads, and it doesn't mean protected bike lanes that don't run directly to my office are useless.
The lanes on L& M are useful if one is bike commuting to a point on or north of those streets. They are entirely useless if one is commuting to a point anywhere from south of L to north of G.
There are bus/bike lanes on H and I and another protected bike lane on G. Connecting all of this are protected bike lanes on 20th.
So to reiterate:
G Street: Protected Bike Lane
H Street: Bus/Bike Lane
I Street: Bus/Bike Lane
L Street: Protected Bike Lane
M Street: Protected Bike Lane
Where are you trying to get to that none of these options work for you?
None of these connect to the CCT, which is the main conduit for bike commuters coming from NW DC and Bethesda. I take it that you've never biked on a "bus / bike lane" or you wouldn't be presenting that as a serious option.
I have bikes it plenty of times. It depends on where you work but I usual take K Street and come Penn. But you have plenty of options coming off the CCT, including Virginia Avenue and L Street. I’m not sure what the complaint is.
Virginia Avenue to G Street is the obvious choice for most people. Very well done and provides protected lane access from that point to most of the city. No one in DC should complain about a lack of options.
VA to G is great if you’re going to GWU, but at least a ten minute detour for anyone who wants to get to K.

I just don't think this is true unless you're only willing to ride in protected bike lanes. Again, I would love it if there were protected bike lanes everywhere, and I take the protected lanes whenever I can. But surely we can advocate for additional bike infrastructure without declaring that anything we currently have is no good because it's not yet perfected.

The lane on G is nice but terminates at 17th - a lot of downtown extends beyond that. The "care free lanes" on H and I are anything but and probably more dangerous to ride a bike on than the road proper.
You should probably drive then.

People barely use the bike lanes we already have. The number of cyclists is pathetically small, especially given how relentlessly the city promotes it.

You’ll be happy to know that DDOT has committing to upgrading the L Street bike lanes to improve the connection to the Georgetown waterfront. Stay tuned.

This is why you’re losing, because you folks keep making arguments like this so it’s hard to take you seriously.
When there are bike lanes on the four streets directly parallel, the mayor is neither serious about downtown revitalization or climate change. Do you understand how crazy that sounds?
The next card in the deck is to accuse the mayor of murder for all the future imagined deaths the lack of a bike lane on this one street will cause, when again, let’s be clear, there are existing bike lanes on the four surrounding streets running directly parallel.
Why the need to be able to drive down K when L and M can suffice?
You’ve convinced me. They should close K Street to cars and turn it into a pedestrian mall with a bikeway. Something tells me that I’m not the one that needs to be convinced.
The point is that people want bike lanes on K Street for the same reason you want lanes to drive in on K Street. Why do you think it's important for people to be able to drive on K Street, specifically? That's the same reason it's important for people to be able to bike in protected bike lanes on K Street, specifically.
I’m quite sincerely. Just shut it all down and ban cars completely downtown. Let’s test these theories.
According to what proponents keep saying, this should lead to a revitalized downtown utopia because all the cyclists will come and spend their money. I look sincerely look forward to the city finally unleashing the power of the cyclist pocket book downtown. I am not sure why they have refused to do such an obvious thing for so long which has been proven by studies.

And you can access K Street via the adjacent streets. Not sure why that’s so hard.
