We are working on some additional education for all road users, but we already have a pretty robust program in place: http://ddot.dc.gov/DC/DDOT/On+Your+Street/Bicycles+and+Pedestrians/Safety.

I really appreciate the bike lanes. Do you think it is also possible to create an awareness program for proper bike riding rules of the road? That means, for example, no riding bikes on one-way roads in the other direction. Bikers need to ride in the same direction as cars. If they don’t, bikers will run smack into a car rounding a corner onto a one-way road. Drivers expect people crossing crosswalks but not bicyclists riding straight toward them.

The new Columbia Road lanes are very nice. Now if only we can get people to stop parking and idling in them. There are normally at least one or two vehicles parked in the new lane, specifically the small stretch between Biltmore and Mintwood.

Any plans to extend the Columbia Road lanes to connect with 14th St?

Way to go DDOT!

My dream is that this becomes routine for DDOT and other departments of transportation–can we do this as a matter of course and not only when there is ARRA funding, say when sidewalks and pavement are being replaced?
