After all that, Washington Avenue could end up with two separate safety configurations

"A March compromise plan to put Washington Avenue on a mixed-road diet with fewer lanes in some sections and new traffic-calming features seemed to offer a chance to make the thoroughfare safer and end a nine-year battle. But Councilmember Kenyatta Johnson on Thursday declined to introduce legislation changing parking rules on the part of the avenue in his district, meaning it would be repaved but stay five lanes wide."
"Councilmember Mark Squilla introduced a bill enabling parking and loading-zone changes on Washington Avenue in his district, from Fourth Street to Broad Street."
"Johnson said he wants Washington Avenue to remain five lanes through the Second District, reflecting the needs and concerns of residents and business owners." |
this really drives me nuts. People are going to end up getting hit and possibly dying because this idiot can't do the right thing. I have to cross this deathtrap all the time, with my 6-year old if we're going to Chew or Queen Memorial library. Anytime I want to get a pizza and beer from dock street, grab something from small oven, I need to cross that street with the sinking feeling I'm going to get hit. I was thinking I was compromising with the mixed lane proposal, and in the end I was fine with that because it was so much safer.
anyway, bike coalition has a form letter if anyone is interested:
