If you attend any of these ANC or DDOT meetings, you get what I'm talking about... the resistance to bike lanes is insane. You'd think these folks would rather have an arm or leg taken off before you disrupt their precious parking.
I would like to see all existing bike lanes become 100% protected like L street. I know that's a pipe dream but you can see where i'm going with this.
They put them in any suburban area there is resistance from residents. It' how they put them in.
Still DC, and much of the DC Metro is bike friendly. Not remotely the case 60 miles north. I can get around on a bike, but no bike lanes just about anywhere. All sidewalks. Nobody bikes around here unless a high end road bike with racing gear on. And all the sidewalks are ramped for miles. Not great, could be worse.
Still DC metro where everything is, or the middle of nowhere.......
