Back in January, DDOT submitted an addition to the 2015 Financially Constrained Long-Range Transportation Plan (CLRP) in the form of 10 new protected or normal bike lanes that it would like to build.

DDOT recently submitted Description Forms about these bike lanes that give a little more information about what is planned. In every case DDOT is talking about a road diet. You can read all of the forms here (Attachment A, starting on page A-1)

4th Street SW from M Street to P Street This project will reduce roadway capacity through converting the existing roadway configuration from four general purpose travel lanes to two lanes with a center turn lane and bicycle lanes.

Length: 0.3 mile

Cost $10,000

6th Street NE from Florida Avenue to K Street This project will implement recommendations from the recent Florida Ave study. It will reduce roadway capacity through the conversion of the existing roadway from two-way to one-way operation with one general purpose travel lane and two-way protected bicycle lanes on the east side of the road.

Length: 0.26 mile

Cost: $30,000

7th Street NW from New York Avenue to N Street This project will reduce roadway capacity through converting the existing roadway configuration from four general purpose travel lanes to two lanes with a center turn lane and bicycle lanes.

Length: 0.3 mile

Cost: $20,000

12th Street NW from Pennsylvania Avenue to Massachusetts Avenue 12th St is a four lane, one-way northbound road with two rush-hour restricted parking lanes. This project will reduce rush-hour roadway capacity by one lane by changing the east side rush-hour restricted parking lane to full-time parking and adding a bicycle lane.

Length: 0.64 mile

Cost $20,000

14th Street NW from Florida Avenue to Columbia Road This project will reduce roadway capacity through converting the existing roadway configuration from four general purpose travel lanes to two lanes with a center turn lane and bicycle lanes. It will connect existing bike lanes, making it the longest continuous bike lane corridor in the city.

Length: 0.52 mile

Cost: $20,000

Adams Mill Road NW from Kenyon Street to Klingle Road Adams Mill Road has two southbound lanes and one northbound lane. This project will reduce roadway capacity through the elimination of one of the southbound lanes to provide room for the addition of 5’ bicycle lanes on either side of the roadway. It will provide a bicycle connection between the National Zoo and Mount Pleasant to Klingle Road/Porter Street and neighborhoods to the west of Rock Creek Park.

Length: 0.24 mile

Cost: $10,000

Brentwood Parkway NE from 6th Street/Penn Street to 9th Street This project will reduce roadway capacity through converting the existing roadway configuration from four general purpose travel lanes to three lanes. Traffic analysis is still required to determine which lane would be eliminated. The extra space will be used for bicycle lanes on either side of the road, or a two-way protected bicycle lane on one side of the street. This will connect the 6th St NE bike lanes to the 9th St Bridge.

Length: 0.22

Cost: $10,000

New Jersey Avenue NW from H Street to Louisiana Avenue This project will reduce roadway capacity through converting the existing roadway configuration from four general purpose travel lanes to two lanes with a center turn lane and bicycle lanes.

Length: 0.45 mile

Cost: $25,000

Pennsylvania Avenue NW Protected Bicycle Lanes Pennsylvania Avenue is a four to six lane corridor with two additional parking lanes. This project will reduce roadway capacity by reducing the existing travel lanes by one to two lanes and installing protected bicycle lanes.

o 17th to 18th Streets will be reduced from 6 to 4 lanes

o 18th to 20th Streets will be reduced from 5 to 4 lanes

o 20th to 26th Streets will be reduced from 6 to 4 lanes

o 26th to 28th Streets will be reduced from 5 to 4 lanes
