Highlights of BAC accomplishments in July:
At its July 12 meeting, the BAC hosted a discussion with DDOT Deputy Director Jeff Marootian, who will assume the role of interim DDOT director in mid August. The productive discussion fulfills DDOT's mandate to meet every six months with the BAC, per the Transportation Reorganization Amendment Act of 2015.
At its September meeting and thereafter, the BAC will follow up on the issues discussed.
BAC members also attended meetings about the Martin Luther King, Jr. Avenue SE revitalization project in Congress Heights and the Downtown West Transportation Planning Study in Ward 2, among other meetings.
Members David Cranor and Jeff Johnson joined Councilmember Charles Allen on a July 28 ride through Ward 6.
This month: August activities
The Facilities Committee will hold a "rolling" meeting on Aug. 5. Beginning at 10 a.m. at the Anacostia Metro station, the ride will study Alabama Avenue SE and adjacent streets slated for bike infrastructure improvements.
Two ANCs in Ward 6 are holding an Aug. 3 joint meeting about K Street NE infrastructure improvements.
BAC members and concerned D.C. bicyclists are invited to Vision Zero site visits organized by the Washington Area Bicyclist Association. Visits are taking place on Aug. 5 in Ward 7, Aug. 19 in Ward 6, and Aug. 23 in Ward 2.
