bike lanes are okay…

acceptance and understanding of the cyclist’s right to the road would be better

I have been looking around posts to improve biking in my city too. It has been the most difficult task for me to get the political things right. Often the political things have creeped up too far for me to accomplish the bike lane improvement. Nice post geek.

Parking on the north side of N Street west of Wisconsin is a relatively new thing — it dates back only to the late 1980s. Why not make things as they once were and use the north side of N west of Potomac as a bike lane?

Pros:

Would eliminate a much too narrow passage way which frequently requires trucks to back up to the nearest intersection. (Not counting broken car mirrors …)

Cons:

Would reduce available parking for late night drunkards. (Take a look at the number of empty spaces at midnight and then again at 5 in the morning and you’ll see what I mean.)

The original was correct. It’s 33rd not 35th that will get the lane (according to my notes and the DC bike Master Plan). So I’m sure that’ll make you happy.

I don’t know about the ticketing enforcement. I would assume so, but I’m not certain. Also, there’s a difference between having the authority to, and actually doing it.
