Bikeways Planned for 2015 by DDOT

By
DC has set ambitious goals for expanding bike infrastructure. The Sustainable DC plan includes meeting the goal of 25% biking and walking by 2032. The MoveDC plan has set out a plan for a connected network of bicycle infrastructure for the whole city - including cycletracks and bike lanes. 

In the short term, the 2-year MoveDC implementation plan has set out a goal of installing 15 miles total of bike lanes in 2015 and 2016. Last year, just over 9 miles of bike lanes were installed. 

This document represents a kind of work plan of bike lanes that DDOT staff are currently planning to work on towards fulfilling the 2-year implementation plan. Lanes are included here based on a combination of priority and feasibility.

New (and Expanded) Capital Bikeshare Locations (Map)

By ranpuba
Below is a Google map showing 32 new Capital Bikeshare locations ( Blue pins ) and 18 current stations that will see expansion ( red pins ), most of which should be installed by the fall of 2011.  According to a press release issued by goDCgo , the District Department of Transportation Director Terry Bellamy states that, " With this expansion we will not only increase the overall reach of the system, but we will expand the program’s capacity by 22 percent in the downtown area, by 80 percent in our East of the River operations and by an average of 38 percent throughout each of the additional Wards .” Most of the new locations add capacity in the system's core but CaBi appears to also expanded east of the Anacostia River in the neighborhoods of Fairfax Village, Benning Ridge, Congress Heights and downtown Anacostia. Areas not receiving new or expanded stations include upper regions of Ward 3,  4, and 5. View New (Blue) and Expanded (Red) CaBi Bike Stations in a l...
