Re: [BloomingdaleActionList] Feedback Request - Biking to the Capitol

Patrick! 

What I have done is cross over to NE take the bike trail to K and then hope on 2nd NE and ride that all the way to the capitol. 

I really enjoy the bike trail and it puts you right there. 2nd NE isn't a high traffic street so it works out. 

Hope that helps!

Patrick,

When I want to bike down that way, I take 2nd to Florida, Florida to 3rd, 3rd to NJ.  Once you cross NY Ave. NJ is pretty easy to bike.  I've also take 1st down to I and I to NJ. 

As for bike lanes, perhaps propose a resolution to the BCA to have councilmembers McDuffie (Ward 5), Wells (Ward 6), Grosso (lives in Ward 5), and Orange (lives in Ward 5) request that DDOT recommend a north-south bike lane.

Also, if you are willing to go over to 7th NW (I assume from your email), consider R Street to the MBT at 5th NE.  Great views of the Capitol and a pretty good route to Cap Hill.

Sent on the run just for you!

All,

I'd appreciate your views on something.  I feel like it's tough to bike from Bloomingdale down to the Capitol, because North Cap is a super highway that can't be used by bikes, and there is no direct, easy-to-ride street that runs straight down.  The best I've found is to bike to 7th and then backtrack. 

I''ve wondered if someone has - or should - propose some sort of bikelane somewhere that would improve our connections to the south.  It seems unfortunate to be able to see the Capitol but have such difficulty getting to it without being in a car or bus.  But, I'm not sure if this is feasible or I'm off-base or just unaware of a good route.

Anyone have any thoughts on that?

Patrick
