[Lincolnparkdc] Advisory Bike Lanes on Kentucky Avenue

[John Hirschmann]


Steve

When you say everybody has them, I assume you mean pylons. It is only on the NE corner of Constitution and Tennessee, which puts it just outside the historic district. It does not appear to have been done in connection with bike lanes. It also across the street from Maury ES which normally implies a large number of young student pedestrians.

My understanding the proposal is now to I bring Advisory Bike Lanes to the 100 block of Tennessee.  Is anybody in contact with the Commissioner for 6A04 about how they feel about this. 

I don’t know who from 100 block of Tenneessee is on this list server. Therefore this is the only way I know to contact them.

The story also confirms what I have now learned that Kentucky, Tenneesee, 12th SE and brand new news to me, North Carolins (don’t know if NE or SE) are also being considered for Advisory Bike Lanes.

I am also wondering how well the ANC Commissioners understood all its implications, before they endorsed the request.
