Our goal is to protect the seniors, the disabled\/physically challenged and parents with children. They should not have to walk long distances at all hours of the day and night, in adverse weather conditions because the Mayor and the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) installed protected bike lanes. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt;line-height:107%;font-family:Arial,sans-serif\">The DC Coalition on DDOT Bike Plans was created to monitor, address, and rectify the harmful impact of protected bike lanes in commercial and residential neighborhoods in Washington DC. While we support cycling and safety in biking, protected bike lanes promote bad behavior among cyclists, as speeding, and create hazards for pedestrians. We petition the Mayor, DDOT and Councilmembers to reject plans that cripple the economic and social nerve center of our livable\/walkable neighborhoods, and instead encourage consideration of alternate bike routes to minimize negative community impact. Biker safety is important and wanted, but not at the expense of pedestrian safety. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt;line-height:107%;font-family:Arial,sans-serif\">Guest speakers: <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin:0in;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt;line-height:107%;font-family:Arial,sans-serif\">DJ One Luv (Host of The Luv Lounge Radio Show), <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin:0in;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt;line-height:107%;font-family:Arial,sans-serif\">Kymone Freeman (WE ACT RADIO), <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin:0in;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt;line-height:107%;font-family:Arial,sans-serif\">Sharece Crawford, Former ANC Commissioner &amp;
