@Michael Perkins 'Designate the main thoroughfare as a "No Buses" route to reduce heavy traffic and noise.
This makes no sense whatsoever. Shouldn't the main thoroughfare be the best place for a bus route?

But 17th Street isn't the main thoroughfare. It is the main 'neighborhood serving retail' street for the surrounding residential neighborhood but definitely not a thoroughfare as in 'through route' for traffic from outside the neighborhood. Jack is absolutely correct that this street should be made more pedestrian friendly and less attractive to those viewing it as a thoroughfare. I'd even go so fare as to say that maybe we don't want more CaBi Stations on it but rather less. The main north/south thoroughfares in the area area 16th Street, 14th Street, and Connecticut Avenue and all vehicular activities are left best centered on these streets so as to allow neighborhood streets such as 17th to serve their intended purposes.
