In his Tuesday evening news piece on NBC4, Mark Segraves spotlighted the controversy over DDOT's insistence on rearranging traffic on 17\u00a0th<\/sup>\u00a0St to accommodate more bike lanes. Calling what he saw “confusing,” Segraves showed delivery trucks going the wrong way on a one-way street, truck drivers shouting, \u2018There\u2019s no place to park!\u2019 and dangerous situations for vulnerable populations, including the elderly, the handicapped and toddlers. DDOT's written response was \u201cbear with us,\u201d rather than provide the requested public presentation of a complicated plan in a congested neighborhood.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cIn 20 years of civic life, I have never seen such intransigence from the administration,\u201d said Alexander Padro, Executive Director of Shaw Main Streets, \u201cWe need a city-wide coalition.\u201d Padro is concerned about DDOT\u2019s failure to engage with the churches, restaurants and residents on the 9th<\/sup>\u00a0St. Bike Plan.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u201cAfter all these changes, not to say confusion, surely a DDOT presentation is overdue,\u201d said DelleDonne, president of Dupont East Civic Action Association (DECAA).<\/span><\/p>\n

Faced with DDOT's continued stonewalling, DECCA is calling a rally for Wednesday, 11 am, starting at the corner of 17th<\/sup><\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span>and Q Sts., NW for residents, other neighborhoods facing the same\u00a0incompetence\u00a0and, yes, DDOT itself to see the confusing mess this city agency has created.\u00a0 Ward 2 CM Brooke Pinto is invited.<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
