April 2021 Committee Meetings

By

Facilities Committee Meeting

Tues., April 13
6 p.m.

Agenda: 

Come to the meeting ready to share: 1) intersections of key concern for biker safety and why, 2) observations/experiences from riding the intersections and what could be improved to a) make you feel safer, b) make it easier to ride. We'll definitely discuss the intersections of 11th & Vermont St and Rhode Island Ave/Q St/11th St, but please also explore other intersections proposed for improvement.

Because our meeting is virtual and not a group ride: One possible approach to independently exploring the intersections is to ride along one or a few of the bike corridors listed below (this is a huge study area, so feel free to observe a handful of areas, and bring that deeper experience to the meeting).
  • Corridor 1: 15th street from Massachusetts to Florida Ave: Intersections: N & 15th, O & 15th, Church & 15th, Swann & 15th, and Chapin & 15th
  • Corridor 2: Florida Ave from 15th to Vermont: Intersections: 13th & Florida, Belmont & Florida, 10th/Barry & Florida
  • Corridor 3: 11th street from Q to Lamont: Intersections: Q & 11th/Rhode Island, Vermont & 11th, Clifton & 11th, Lamont & 11th
  • Corridor 4: Georgia Ave from Girard to Columbia: Intersections: Gresham Pl & Georgia, Girard & Georgia, Columbia & Georgia
  • Corridor 5: Sherman from Columbia Rd to New Hampshire Ave, then New Hampshire to Rock Creek Church Rd: Intersections: Morton & Sherman, Newton & New Hampshire, Princeton & New Hampshire, Rock Creek Church & New Hampshire
  • Corridor 6: 14th Street from Park Rd to Spring Rd: Intersections: Meridian & 14th, Otis & 14th, Parkwood Pl & 14th, Perry & 14th

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...
