DDOT moves planned cycle track

Stephen Miller over at GreaterGreaterWashington is reporting that DDOT is moving the previously-planned cycle track along I Street to M Street. Amongst other reasons, this was done since an M Street track would have less traffic impact, allows for potential bus improvements along I Street (to be studied with WMATA), is only one block from the planned eastbound cycle track on L Street, and provides better bicycle connectivity in the long run.

Blue bike lanes

Found almost by accident as I was perusing Google Maps:




These are on Columbus Blvd in Philadelphia. The blue paint was used where the bike lanes were crossing other traffic areas.

They're going in! (photos by Eric Gilliland). I should take a trip up there soon myself.

Alas, one part of the earlier bike lane plan is a no-go: the Commission of Fine Arts pulled the plug on painting the bike lanes green.
