The BAC held its bimonthly meeting on March 6.
The guest speakers were representatives of the Department of Public Works, who briefed the BAC on bike lane parking enforcement and other issues of concern to bicyclists.
On a related note, the BAC voted to support DDOT “Proper Behavior in Bike Lanes” rulemaking and submitted its official position favoring “rules that remove ambiguity around driver behavior in bike lanes, especially if such rules result in regular enforcement.”
BAC Chair Pro-Tem and Ward 5 representative Tom Bridge was reappointed on March 19.
This evening I swore in Tom Bridge to his 2nd term on the @DCBAC. I’m excited for you to continue your work making the District safer for cyclists! pic.twitter.com/8fJLm1ZcNQ— Phil Mendelson (@ChmnMendelson) March 19, 2019
BAC Chair and Ward 4 representative Rachel Maisler and member Anders Pedersen joined a March 31 community ride supporting bicycle facilities on K Street NE, with crosstown connectivity into downtown. The Facilities Committee has given input about the corridor on several occasions, most recently in the summer of 2016.
