The Battle Over Connecticut Avenue’s Bike Lanes
Things are getting TENSE up in Cleveland Park over a plan to install bike lanes on Connecticut Avenue. Arguments over a plan to install bike lanes on Connecticut avenue have reached a boiling point. Last week, protestors argued that removing valuable parking spots to make way for bike lanes would kill businesses along the strip. The city is still reviewing the design plans for the bike lanes, but back in April, we hosted a debate between two neighbors over whether or not they should even happen.
Check out DDOT’s plans for proposed bike lanes here, and the letter ANC3C will submit to DDOT regarding parking spots here.
