Rolling forward: D.C. bicycling report for April 2018

Highlights of BAC accomplishments in April:

The three BAC committees held meetings and the BAC’s Ward 4 member co-organized a community ride with Councilmember Brandon Todd.

Accompanied by a police escort, some 50 bicyclists rode through Ward 4 to tour the streets and see new infrastructure at traffic circles and elsewhere.


The Facilities Committee took to the hills of Ward 3 to survey the Palisades area and assess connectivity to American University, Georgetown and the Capital Crescent Trail.

Surveying infrastructure on the Arizona Avenue pedestrian bridge

Debriefing and mapping next steps

The Safety, Education and Enforcement Committee and the Legislative Committee held sit-down meetings.

Chair David Cranor was reappointed to the Ward 6 seat. Council chair Phil Mendelson administered the oath of office on April 23.
This month: May activities

Writing on his personal blog, chair David Cranor analyzed the status of several bike lane projects, based on information from DDOT at the May 2 BAC meeting.

Bike to Work Day is May 18.

DDOT is holding a May 23 meeting on the 20th/21st/22nd Streets NW protected bike lanes project.
