RSS FeedDDOT To Unveil Bike Lane Plan For Downtown District
DDOT has announced that it will hold a meeting on March 18 (Thurs), from 6pm – 8pm to unveil its plans to install bike lanes on Penn Ave, 9th St, 15th St, I St, and L St! The meeting will be held at PQ’s very own US Navy Memorial Heritage Center (701 Penn Ave NW).
This is very exciting news for PQ residents that work and/or play in the Central Business District (CBD) and would like to use their bicycle for transportation. Currently, bicyclists have to ride in actual traffic lanes to make that trek because riding a bicycle on the sidewalk in the CBD is against the law.
No doubt this meeting is in response to the large number of comments from DC residents and WABA lobbying for bicycle tracks to be included in the K Street Transitway project. DDOT’s canned response to residents requesting bike lanes on K St was: It should be noted that the District’s Bicycle Master Plan does not designate K Street as a bicycle corridor; rather, bicycle use is promoted on adjacent I and L Streets.
