Side-by-side comparison of PA Ave bike lane plans

I had been planning to write about the new design of the Pennsylvania Avenue bike lanes, but Greater Greater Washington beat me to the punch. That’s OK. Instead of duplicating GGW’s lengthy review, I’ll just toss up the graphic I’d been working on, which illustrates the differences between the plans.

Same location. Old plans on the left, new plans on the right. Click the image for a bigger version.

The two images show the same location. The horizontal street is Pennsylvania Avenue and the vertical one is 6th Street, NW. Note that in the new plans, the bike lanes replace the median rather than run on either side adjacent to it, which allows westbound Pennsylvania Avenue to retain all four of its auto lanes.

Of course this is just one location, but it’s illustrative.
