Bikes Win In Adams Morgan!

Thanks to the support of WABA members and concerned cyclists, the Planning, Zoning and Transportation Committee for ANC 1C unanimously voted to support a new transportation plan for 18th Street in Adams Morgan that goes a long way toward promoting safe bicycling.

You may recall that in earlier drafts of the plan, on-street facilities for cyclists had been left of the key blocks of 18th Street north of Kalorama. Thanks to the committee vote, the shared lane markings sought by WABA have now been included from Florida Avenue all the way to Columbia Road. In addition, the committee also supported traffic calming measures such as raised intersections and pedestrian safety improvement like curb bulbouts. Ample bike parking will be provided throughout the corridor and the sidewalks of the street will be dramatically expanded.

WABA would like to thank all of you that took the time to write the ANC with your concerns. According to one commissioner, she had received 150 emails from local cyclists! We couldn't have done it without you.

The new proposal will be put to a vote by the full ANC at their September meeting. Stay tuned to www.waba.org for details.

Thanks for your help!
