[Lincolnparkdc] Traffic cameras 100bl Kentucky

[regina arlotto]

Hi all-
I recently started working at DDOT in the Active Transportation Division
which plans for new bike lanes, and I haven't heard anything about bike
lanes either planned or suggested for Kentucky Ave. I've only been here a
few months, so it's entirely possible I just haven't heard about a study
here. I sent a message into the rest of my co-workers asking for
clarification for what the cameras are monitoring. I'll let you know what I
find out.

I've also learned via the Newhilleast Facebook group that these cameras
have also gone up at 12th and C Street SE and South Carolina and Kentucky.
It could be an overall traffic study for speeds and traffic volume, which I
for one, would welcome, considering the near misses almost daily as car
drivers speed while making the easy angled right turn off of East Capitol
onto Kentucky. Drivers also routinely run the stop sign at 12th/East Cap
and Kentucky/East Cap and I'm also sick of the car drivers who won't stop
for pedestrians in the crosswalks into the park.

I also want to remind folks that bike lanes can be accommodated on streets
while preserving parking, so let's not immediately assume that DDOT is
coming to take our parking. Speaking as a car owner who gets as annoyed as
anyone when I can't find a space to park, I have to remind myself that
streets are public space-not just free parking for our cars. It is also
there for bicyclists, pedestrians, skaters, scooters, skateboarders,
joggers: any and all *travelers* who need to get from point A to point B
safely.

Best,
Gina A.
