As a frequent biker on most of Columbia Road NW, I’d feel much safer and more prepared to deal with the chaos of buses, pedestrians, and drivers on that road.

I live in Adams Morgan and ride my bike on Columbia Rd every day -- it's an unsafe obstacle course and needs protected bike lanes and bus lanes

This is a great area for a bus / bike lane! As a columbia heights resident, please move forward with the plan.

I got hit by a car on Columbia road. I was lucky to survive. We cannot rely on luck! We know how to stop traffic fatalities and injuries!

Bike lanes slow traffic and save DRIVER lives as well.

I've lived on Columbia Road for many years. It has a bike lane past 16th street, but we need the bike lane to extend through Columbia Heights - especially around 11th St and 14th St, where there is high traffic and it's currently very dangerous as a cyclist.

please build more protected bike lanes! we need to make protecting the most vulnerable movers a priority- walkers, runners, bikers!! as a cyclist i spend every commute with my head on a swivel- even in a bike lane there are enough cars and scooters not paying attention. safety should be the number one priority NOT protecting drivers / car lanes!

Great alternative to those of us who are just out of reach of awesome Mt. Pleasant, and rely on a combo of bussing and walking

Bike lanes save lives and mitigate traffic. If we don’t have a bike lane I will bike in the entire lane.

I regularly bike on Columbia Road with my young kids and a protected bike lane would greatly help with safety on this busy road.

Also please put one on Independance Ave or through the mall so the tourists / large coach buses / food trucks don’t hit us!

I usually take the Ss to work because it’s quicker and then walk, but a bus lane could make my commute quicker and easier.

protected bike lanes make roads safer for bikers, cars, and pedestrians. It's win-win, common sense policy to make DC a better place for all!

I bike this route daily, and it’s terrifying. It doesn’t need to be, and these changes will help tremendously.
