I can’t remember where, but I have seen it signed as the Eisenhower Freeway.

I was waiting for someone to say “Uncle!” It is what you and just about everyone else knows as the SE/SW Freeway.

How long will it be until the electronic multi-space meters on M St in front of the Navy Yard are fixed? They are CONSTANTLY broken, with displays that are completely illegible, paper gone, meters not allowing multi-hour parking but shutting down after an hour or two, etc.

The National Park Service is responsible for the Arboretum portion of the trail, including that bridge. For more information please contact Stephen Syphax at stephen_syphax@nps.gov.

How far along/where is planning for the bridge that the map shows proposed to connect the Arboretum with the Aquatic Gardens?

Comment on Cycletracks by Randall Myers

The recent ‘discussion’ regarding cycletracks is not about the the length of contributing studies or the needs of other transportation users on these streets, it’s about how at Director Bellamy’s confirmation he appear to state that cycletracks on these streets will probably not happen, that the project is likely canceled. That appears to be contrary to what was stated above – that DDOT has “revised plans for L and M Streets to a 50% design, and have commenced studying the existing innovative facilities”. That doesn’t sound like canceled.

Most bicyclists understand that adding facilities is difficult and time consuming. We understand that adding new bike infrastructure will be exponentially more difficult than what is currently constructed. What we would like is consistent messaging with regard to DDOT plans and periodic statements that convey changes in plans or any other progress in the District efforts to add bicycling facilities. Crossing downtown is challenging for nearly all transportation modes; we are hopeful that DDOT continues to make progress in its efforts to cross it by bike.

Thank you for all you have done thus far to improve DC as a cycling city. Definite progress has been made and I am grateful. The benefit to both cyclists (safer riding options) and drivers (less automobile traffic) has been noticeable. Please keep up the good work and build these much-needed east-west cycletracks!

This is weak tea. Downtown streets cater nearly exclusively to the needs of solo drivers – never mind anyone else. Build the cycletracks already.
