[Lincolnparkdc] DDOT north lincoln park project

I agree with your concern about losing about 35 parking spaces as it will clearly impact many neighboring blocks as people have to look further for parking. There likely will be secondary and tertiary responses as people have to look further to find a parking space. It will also expose all to increased risk of exposure to crime (which is unfortunately on the rise) and create added challenges to those with mobility issues. 

However, I disagree how the traffic will probably divert. Those headed for Tennessee will continue as in the past. Those headed farther east will more like turn earlier at East Cap and then turn left at either 15th or 19th to get to C street NE and the RFK fields, etc

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.

>> The proposal is to put in conforming bike lanes like those that exist around LP from the NW and SE (Mass Ave) and SW (North Carolina Ave) corners so that the NE (North Carolina to C St) corner is a connected bikeway to RFK Stadium/The Fields via C St. This is long overdue, as the flyer says. That two-block stretch of NC to Constitution/15th is nonconforming and too narrow compared to the other 3 safer corners. However, DDOT should not slow down. I support this project post haste and urge my neighbors to, too. These lanes can serve as a critical connection between the LP community and the Kingman Park community. This project would directly and positively benefit Maury, Miner, Elliott-Hine, Appletree 12th, Kingman Academy, Appletree Oklahoma, and Eastern families with safer routes to school, not to mention the several in-home daycares in the NE area.
