Should There Be Bike Lanes on Connecticut Avenue?
The city’s bike lane plan for Connecticut Avenue NW is so controversial that there are petitions floating around with thousands of signatures, and the city has delayed finalizing the design concept yet again. So we’ve brought in two community members who STRONGLY disagree on the bike lanes to lay out their cases.
Plus, watch DDOT Director Everett Lott testify on the project in front of DC Council today at 9 am.
