Concepts for the C Street NE redesign are visible at the C Street NE Blog. All three proposals are the same for cyclists with a cycletrack at sidewalk level and a speed-table/pedestrian/cycle track crossings at the cross streets.
425 Mass has an awesome bike room.
The first floor of the parking garage has a bike room with racks for 80 bikes and room for future expansion if necessary. The spiral stairway in the courtyard leads to top level of the garage and the front door of the bike room. The stairway has a grooved ramp on the side so that residents can easily roll their bikes up or down the stairway without needing the elevators or competing with cars on the entry ramp.
I never noticed it before, but a couple of the Future Capital Crescent Trail signs are misspelled.
FABB spots another poorly installed bike rack - to use it, you have to put part of your bike in the flower garden. And they have info on a new report entitled "A Guide to Bicycle and Transit Connections in Northern Virginia."
Adam Voiland has remembrances for Constance Holden. In preparation for the summit, the Golden Triangle BID installed bike racks.
A tree planting will occur Tuesday, and bike racks will be installed this week.
I can overlook the misspelling of the "FUTURE CAPITOL CRESENT TRAIL" (twice on one four word sign).
But many of these signs are also in the wrong place. The future Capital Crescent Trail will take a completely different route from the Georgetown Branch Trail from downtown Silver Spring to Stewart Avenue in Lyttonsville.
