This is the most foolish project I've ever witnessed; it actually endangers safety for everyone.

This is a terrible plan. The so called congestion generally happens during rush hour and when school gets out. It’s not so bad as to warrant the elimination of over 70 parking spots. If you want to eliminate spots you need to build a free/low cost parking garage. And try adding a turn light to Columbia and Harvard - one that allows buses to turn with no oncoming traffic. There are too many out of control bikes and scooters on Columbia road - they make it unsafe for ppl walking and driving.

As a long time resident of Columbia Rd I feel safe riding my bike. This project smacks of social engineering masquerading as efficiency and safety when it is in fact the opposite. I say PAUSE FOR THE CAUSE, take 3 deep breaths, respect the community by considering the negative impact of the current plan.

This is a taking. Taking of safety, convenience, quality of life from those who live on and near Columbia Rd and over their objections. We lose in what has unnecessarily become a zero-sum, virtue-signaling game.

You are trying to fix something that isn’t broken! Please reconsider this waste of precious public funds.

The KCA has proposed a safe, sensible plan for Columbia that will be best for everyone, including bikers, please read it. DDOT's dangerously radical plan is the antithesis of common sense.

This project makes me really angry. So unsafe for seniors and disruptive of our neighborhood and businesses. It will make congestion worse!

We have one of the most limited parking situations in all of D.C. Please -- do not remove our parking spaces.

Outrageous that the mayor has ignored tax paying and voting residents and instead has catered to the wishes of the out of neighborhood bikers.

We applaud the recovery and removal of buried streetcar tracks along Columbia Road. Hopefully some will be retained for donated to The National Capital Trolley Museum. However, we believe regarding this project that City and ANC are acting contrary to the public interest. Thus, it is imperative that DDOT acknowledge this renamed project is not "Bus Priority" bus a guise for implementing Bicycle Tracks acting contrary to public sentiment against such

I do not support the planned construction on Columbia Road.

The proposed bike is trying to fix a problem that DOES NOT EXIST. Furthermore the proposal poses significant risks to lto pedestrians and those waiting for a southbound bus. Additionally, it will cause significant traffic congestion when trash, mail, delivery and other service vehicles block traffic to perform their duties.

I’ve lived a block away from Columbia rd for over a decade, on Adams Mill Rd. Parking (and traffic) are already a nightmare - I frequently end up parking a 20 minute walk away from my apartment. This will make that problem worse for nearby residents.

Proposed changes are terrible for the neighborhood, and make no sense.

Columbia road is already congested, say no to bus lanes and additional parking loss.
