DDOT meeting on new downtown bike lanes, March 18

6-8pm, Thursday, March 18
"DDOT Public meeting on innovative bike lanes on Pennsylvania Avenue and elsewhere in the Central Business District"
The Heritage Center of the the United States Navy Memorial
701 Pennsylvania Avenue NW

Chris Ziemann, our Ward 2 DDOT Planner, has announced at the ANC2C meeting a plan to accommodate increased bicycling in the city, and to prepare for the expansion of the bikesharing program.

DDOT is developing innovative new bike infrastructure in the greater downtown area. Because of the high demand for curb space, large numbers of buses, and heavy loading, DDOT has looked to other cities such as New York and Montreal for designs to both protect cyclists and accommodate downtown activity.

Please join us to review the latest plans for innovative bike lanes on the following streets:

  • Pennsylvania Avenue NW
  • I Street NW
  • L Street NW
  • 15th Street NW
  • 9th Street NW

Bicycle parking will be provided. Metro, Green and Yellow Line, Archives/Navy Memorial Station.
