It is one of many that is causing neighborhoods around the city to push back. DECAA has been asking for a public presentation of the confusing Plan since March when Councilmember Brooke Pinto gleefully announced the breakthrough in its design, \u201cAll traffic will be funneled through one lane and a new protected bile lane will be installed on the east side of the street against the flow of traffic.\u201d She and DDOT have since refused even a public presentation. Meanwhile DDOT has unleashed a torrent of $150 parking tickets to punish patrons of the shops in a commercial stretch where all parking spaces are now illegal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin:0in;line-height:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(51,51,51)\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin:0in;line-height:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(51,51,51)\">DECAA has collected 780 signatures on a petition calling for a comprehensive review of the reckless and dangerous Bike Plan.\u00a0<\/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\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div id=\"mt-signature\">\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"user-select: none;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"background:#f2fcf7;padding:8px 0 8px 17px;border-top:1px solid #2ecf80;border-left:1px solid #2ecf80;border-bottom:1px solid #2ecf80\">                     <a id=\"signatureLink-logo\" href=\"https:\/\/mailtrack.io?utm_source=gmail&amp;utm_medium=signature&amp;utm_campaign=signaturevirality11&amp;\" class=\"\" style=\"text-decoration:none\">                         <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/mailtrack-signature\/sender-notified-72.gif\" alt=\"Mailtrack\" class=\"\" width=\"36\" height=\"36\">                     <\/a>                 <\/td>\n<td style=\"background:#f2fcf7;padding:8px 40px 8px 17px;font-family:roboto,arial,sans-serif;border-top:1px solid #2ecf80;border-right:1px solid #2ecf80;border-bottom:1px solid #2ecf80\">                     <span style=\"color:#1a1a1a;font-size:14px\">Sender notified by<\/span> <br \/>                     <a style=\"color:#1a73e8;font-size:14px\" id=\"signatureLink-text\" href=\"https:\/\/mailtrack.io?utm_source=gmail&amp;utm_medium=signature&amp;utm_campaign=signaturevirality11&amp;\" class=\"mt-install\">Mailtrack<\/a>                 <\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color:transparent;font-size:0\">11\/18\/21, 07:36:53 AM<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px\">                                      <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"0\" height=\"0\" class=\"mailtrack-img\" alt=\"\" style=\"display:flex\" src=\"https:\/\/mailtrack.io\/trace\/mail\/ec95d8efcc75f07ec29b1ae33a7b908de30ea9d3.png?u=7803408\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Media Alert: Thursday, Nov. 18, 2021 Contact:\u00a0Nick DelleDonne ,\u00a0\u00a0 delledonne.n@comcast.net, 703 929 6656 \u00a0 Walking Tour of DDOT 17th St. Bike Plan with Mayor\u2019s Agent Today Drawing attention to the reckless and dangerous Bike Plan in a congested commercial stretch in East Dupont, the city-wide Coalition on DDOT Bike Plans will lead the Mayor\u2019s Office [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2906","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-dc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.dcfeedback.com\/fit2print\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2906","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.dcfeedback.com\/fit2print\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.dcfeedback.com\/fit2print\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.dcfeedback.com\/fit2print\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.dcfeedback.com\/fit2print\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2906"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.dcfeedback.com\/fit2print\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2906\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.dcfeedback.com\/fit2print\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2906"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.dcfeedback.com\/fit2print\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2906"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.dcfeedback.com\/fit2print\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2906"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
