The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) is examining potential alternative designs for a protected bike lane that would provide a low-stress, two-way bicycling connection between central DC neighborhoods such as Shaw and Bloomingdale and downtown.
The Eastern Downtown Protected Bike Lane Study will provide a safe, continuous, separated bicycle transportation infrastructure between some of the most dense and fastest-growing areas of the District of Columbia, connecting residential, retail, and institutional land uses with the downtown core.
During the open house, members of the public will have the opportunity to learn about design options, speak with project team members, review data that has been gathered so far, and offer feedback.
The event information is as follows:
What: Eastern Downtown Protected Bike Lanes Study Open House
When: Thursday, October 22
6 pm to 8 pm
Where: Watha T. Daniel/Shaw Library
1630 7th Street, NW, in the Large Meeting Room
I may attend. It will be interesting to see if any folks from the House of Prayer show up to reiterate their position that bike lanes are ungodly.
Of course - why should they bother. DDOT decision of this nature are overridden by council members anyway.
