Show Notes
Washington D.C.s popular protected bike lane on Fifteenth Street Northwest faces a lawsuit from local cyclists, delaying its potential removal. The lane, managed by the National Park Service, is under threat due to federal agencies desire to improve access for events and anniversaries. However, cyclists and safety advocates argue that removing the lane could increase accidents, citing recent data showing a significant drop in crashes and injuries since its opening in 2021. A protest is planned for Tuesday to rally against the removal and highlight the lanes safety benefits.
