ANC 3F spent some time at its March 16th going over a draft resolution on DDOT’s study of Connecticut Avenue and the potential impacts of removing the reversible rush-hour lanes and adding bike lanes. The commissioners are to vote on the resolution at their next meeting, on Tuesday, April 20th.
The resolution states support for the concept that includes bike lanes. It also calls for the permanent removal of the reversible lanes, and that DDOT implement other recommended safety improvements as soon as possible.
First, though, the commissioners will consider grant requests from Rock Creek Conservancy and Van Ness Main Street. Rock Creek Conservancy is seeking funds for its ongoing efforts to remove invasive plants from the segment of Melvin Hazen Park west of Connecticut Avenue. And Van Ness Main Street is requesting money for public art on Connecticut Avenue. (Forest Hills Connection is a program of Van Ness Main Street).
The meeting begins at 7 p.m. Here’s the agenda and the Zoom link:
