Update on Pennsylvania Avenue SE Bike Lanes

ANC 6B REPORT by Elizabeth O’Gorek

Advisory Neighborhood Commission (ANC) 6B met on Nov. 9, the birthday of Kirsten Oldenburg (6B04). As a gift, they gave her their shortest meeting in their collective memory, lasting just a few minutes over one hour.

Advisory Neighborhood Commission (ANC 6B) met virtually via WebEx Oct. 11. Commissioners Jennifer Samolyk (6B01), Gerald Sroufe (6B02), Brian Ready (6B03), Kristen Oldenburg (6B04), Steve Holtzman (6B05), Corey Holman (6B06), Edward Ryder (6B07) and Denise Krepp (6B10) were all in attendance. ANC 6B08 and 6B09 are currently vacant.

Progress on Pennsylvania Avenue SE Bus Lanes

Jennifer Samolyk (6B01) noted that the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) had distributed information pamphlets to area residents, and summarized the update on the Pennsylvania Bus Lane project. Lanes are currently being painted; once complete, bus line signage will be installed. Although it will change once the project is completed, as of right now, private vehicles may drive in the bus lane outside of AM or PM rush hour. Parking continues to take place at the curbside.

Elevated bus platforms are to be installed through winter and into spring 2023. During that time, parking will remain at the curb, but there will be additional restrictions at temporary bus stops and where platforms are being constructed.

In spring 2023, a protected bike lane will be installed at the same time as bus stops are relocated. Once the bike lane is installed, parking is permitted within the bus lane outside of AM or PM rush hour (7:00 to 9:30 a.m. and 4:00 to 6:30 p.m.)
