Reply to Anyone going to Above and Beyond for NYE? New to town and don’t really know anybody who would want to go out for NYE… by gay-dragon
Join the DC anjunafamily Facebook group. You are guaranteed to make friends. They are likely doing a meet up. Sadly, I am not going since I saw A&B at ABGT500 in LA and the crew didn't want to go again.

Definitely don't listen to that guy. I have been to countless shows at echostage. If you call a ride and stay inside the venue, you won't get a ride. Call it to the McDonald's or 7/11 and walk over there.

I know we'll never agree. I see you spreading anti bike propaganda on this subreddit all of the time.

Why remove the bike lane? Just use the on street parking that's already there and remove to parking spots for delivery.

Bike lanes always look empty because bikes don't get stuck in traffic. I'm through a block in 30 seconds. The only time I have ever seen true bicycle traffic was when I used to commute via 15th NW downtown. Even then you could blink and it's gone. That's why we choose to bike. It's faster and it makes more sense at the scale of the city.

You don't think constant double parking and blocking bike lanes is ruining the city? It's extremely dangerous and unfair to everyone else. Again, not blaming the drivers. We need less on street parking and more delivery/loading zones for delivery drivers.

I ride on K St all of the time because it is the main route across the city from NE to NW. It gets a ton of bike traffic so I really don't understand your anecdote about not getting any use.

Maybe the corporations responsible should be lobbying the city to convert street parking into delivery/loading zones. It's odd that you put the blame on the bike lanes instead of the business model of Uber and doordash which is ruining the city.

That is a main bike route for a ton of people. Both sides are definitely needed and it isn't even good enough since drivers are constantly pulling maneuvers and blocking the lane.

Car ownership does not equal car dependent. It is a proxy, but there is nuance.
For instance, DC has a much higher median income than NYC. More people can easily afford cars that they do not use.
Of course, if you compare Manhattan to all of DC, Manhattan is more transit friendly and less car dependent. However, if you compare all of NYC to DC, it is very comparable or DC even wins.cthere are giant portions of Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and especially Staten island that are fully car dependent. In DC it is just the very rich parts of NW and the low income areas EOTR that are car dependent.

DC is not car dependent at all.

The bike lanes are protected in the rendering except through the intersection where that would be impossible.
