DCCA Calls for Full Community Engagement on Upgrading the Q and R Street Bike Lanes
Last month, the Dupont Circle ANC2B passed a resolution that asked the DC Department of Transportation to expedite a study of Q and R Streets NW to upgrade the bike lanes to the current safety standards, which include protected bike lanes where possible.

DCCA has sent a letter to DDOT noting that while it is early in the process, we want to emphasize from the very beginning that bike lanes are of great interest -- both pro and con -- for the residents of this area, and therefore it is imperative that DDOT engage in a robust and transparent public discussion of their plans.
