DDOT proposes narrowing Conn. Ave. reversible lanes study

Concepts being studied for usage and traffic impacts would drop from four to two.

One remaining concept includes protected bike lanes. One does not. And neither one includes the reversible lanes. Read more about the remaining concepts under study, additional data, and the next steps.

New year, new ANC

ANC 3F meets TONIGHT: And five of the seven faces on Zoom are new to the commission. Their agenda includes the election of officers and an update on the Van Ness Burger King, which wants the District's zoning board to waive an order to repave its accessory parking lot (pictured above).

Find the Zoom link and the agenda here. And ANC regulars should note that the meeting begins at 7 p.m., not 7:30.
