[Lincolnparkdc] Traffic calming

[Lynn Hart]

I support any effort to slow traffic in our neighborhood.
We live on 11th St SE between Lincoln Park and Independence Ave SE and despite 5 years of effort, meetings with Charles Allen and DDOT no effort has been made to slow the speeding traffic ( up to 50mph to make a green light) on our block.
We’ve had two meetings in our home with neighbors & Allen & DDOT and then filed traffic count & speed surveys they suggested we do with no good result. Nothing - no traffic calming, no electronic traffic advisory sign, no camera. Only one verbal report that “they didnt see a problem”.  Some residents moved to get away from the traffic - out of state!
It seems our council member has moved on to issues he’d rather tackle and that moving commuters is more important. However I must thank our ANC representative who has tried several times help us to bring this to councils attention.
