> The County Executive may have indirect power via the budgeting process....
Has the County Executive or anyone from his Administration said anything about this decision or his opinion of it...? Is Elrich in fact interested at all in reversing the PB vote?
County Council members challenges Planning Board's CCT decision
Three Montgomery County Council members are questioning the local Planning Board’s decision to abandon a temporary road-lane reduction and realign the Capital Crescent Trail’s crossing with Little Falls Parkway in Bethesda. In June, the planning board voted to get rid of the road diet on Little...
The BAC Expansion Amendment Act (isn't that redundant?) bill is B23-0242.
Meanwhile, sitting in on the July BAC meeting last week it occurred to me, it might be useful/worthwhile to have DFHV included as well, since so much of the bad behaviour occurring in the bike lanes is from folks they regulate...
Also, I note that the existing statute includes Parks & Rec as a member. I admit I don't come to BAC meetings very often, but I can't say I've ever seen a DPR rep at one...
Bicycle Advisory Council Expansion Amendment Act of 2019
Yesterday Councilmember Todd introduced a bill to add a representative of the Department of Public Works to the Bicycle Advisory Council. DPW is the party primarily responsible for enforcing parking in the bike lanes, so the intent of the bill is to make it easier for the BAC to advise DPW. I d...
sorry i missed this until now... it's interesting that one of the 'koncerns' was that "protected, safe bike lanes already exist in our neighborhood on non-residential streets...K Street is 90% residential", especially considering how many complaints cities get when they attempt to install bike lanes or other bike-related infrastructure on non-residential streets saying people should be riding on residential roads...
Support a Green, Safe K Street NE/NW
Concept design of K Street from 2018 NoMa/Mount Vernon Triangle Bicycle Network Study This Sunday, there will be a march and ride on K Street NE/NW to demand a road diet and more green space. Safe Streets for Hill East and Near NE, Keya Chatterjee, and ANC 6C06 Commissioner Robb Dooling are ...
Re Richard B's comment: According to MPD, that intersection _has_ a red light camera, or at least did when they last updated the list on their website (six months ago).
Cyclist hit in yesterday's hit-and-run has passed away
A cyclist was struck yesterday in a hit-and-run crash in the 1200 block of Constitution Ave NW yesterday. Today the police announced that he has died. He has been identified as 64 year old Thomas Hendricks Hollowell of Arlington, VA. The driver, whom the police are looking for, drove a dark col...
> the Brookland to Fort Totten section [of the MBT]…will be finished by this time next year.
Assuming they manage to get started on time next month, it's supposed to be finished by the end of next year (I've seen both November and December mentioned in different materials).
Met Branch Trail Brookland to Fort Totten section to break ground next month
At the last BAC meeting, DDOT stated that they would break ground on the next section of the Met Branch Trail in June. That's the Brookland to Fort Totten section and it will be finished by this time next year. In addition, construction of NoMa Green Park - which will replace the Z-curve at R...
> "I've seen no evidence of new bike infra on 20th"
The reference to "They've also started work the Western Downtown cycletracks on 20th and 21st Streets" is to planning work. Per https://www.dccycletrack.com/20th21st22ndstnw they're going to be presenting the 10% design at the meeting in late May.
DDOT moving forward on Western, Eastern and Crosstown cycletrack projects, and that's just the big ones
Though the addition of protected bike lanes (or cycletracks) has been slower than many have wanted it feels like this year could see significant progress. DDOT recently completed the 30% design of the Eastern Downtown cycletracks on 6th and 9th NW and plan to public meeting on them in July. Th...
