[Lincolnparkdc] DDOT north lincoln park project

[Marche Maine]

DDOT removing the right hand turn lane of 13th Street and North Carolina
Ave. N.E. would force all east-bound traffic further north to the
Constitution / 13th St. intersection, directly in front of Maury
elementary. Moreover, the removal of 35 parking spaces on the south side of
North Carolina Ave. does not remove 35 cars from the road. Also, it forces
35 residents to compete with neighboring streets and neighbors for parking
spots. This is particularly dangerous now that the city has not been able
to curb the violence and street crime in the neighborhood.  It is also a
burden for those with mobility issues who will have to walk blocks to their
homes.
