This would be a great place to experiment with either a cycletrack of bicycle boulevard(http://bta4bikes.org/at_work/bikeboulevards.php) in this city. Limit through traffic on New Hampshire Ave. on either side of U St., allow bikes to travel both directions and install special bike-only signals at the intersection. This would build out what many cyclists already do at this spot and prove to be a better linkage from the New Hampshire bike lanes to access Florida and 14th or 11th St. lanes. http://greatergreaterwashington.org/post/1003/now-those-are-bulb-outs/#comment-9149 Fri, 27 Jun 2008 14:07:53 EDT http://greatergreaterwashington.org/post/1003/now-those-are-bulb-outs/#comment-9148 The SE corner where the bus stops really needs the extra sidewalk space too. I've always felt the sidewalk there was too narrow with all the people getting on/off the bus and others trying to walk through. If I remember correctly there is a big telephone pole right in the middle of the narrow sidewalk in front of the bus stop too. I almost always end up walking into the street to get around all the obstacles on that corner. It's great to see plans like this. http://greatergreaterwashington.org/post/1003/now-those-are-bulb-outs/#comment-9148 Fri, 27 Jun 2008 13:46:19 EDT http://greatergreaterwashington.org/post/1003/now-those-are-bulb-outs/#comment-9144 I also think the new hard-right design for turning onto New Hampshire helps clarify right-of-way confusion. In addition to drivers going too fast on 16th southbound into New Hampshire, the soft-right gives them the impression they're not really "turning" and so they don't need to yield to pedestrians. And pedestrians are simply continuing down 16th with the light, so they feel like the right of way is theirs. It's a mess, and quite scary when your back is turned on speeding cars. http://greatergreaterwashington.org/post/1003/now-those-are-bulb-outs/#comment-9144 Fri, 27 Jun 2008 12:02:53 EDT
