Car free lanes are coming to DC in “late July 2020”… this is for expanded eateries and social distancing…
Buses and bicycles can use the following,
- 7th St NW
- Between Massachusetts and Pennsylvania Ave NW (Buses and bicycles only)
- 7th St NW between I St NW and Indiana Ave NW (Buses, bicycles, and trucks can also use)
- G St NW between 8th St NW and 7th St NW (Buses, bicycles, and trucks can also use)
these are now 24/7
some things to work out right turning vehicles permitted to access garages north of I St NW and Indiana Ave NW (eastbound)
- Martin Luther King Jr Ave SE Basically this is rush hour for one lane only so no restrictions required in Waze (since public transportation is not a vehicle option now) and all traffic is allowed.
- Between W St SE and St. Elizabeth’s East Campus (Buses and bicycles only)
Operates with peak direction during morning and evening rush hours (nb 7 am to 9:30 am; sb 4 pm to 6:30 pm)
-
M St SE Basically this is rush hour for one lane only so no restrictions required in Waze (since public transportation is not a vehicle option now) and all traffic is allowed.
- Between Half St SE and 10th St SE (Buses and bicycles only)
Operates with peak direction during morning and evening rush hours (7 am to 9:30 am and 4 pm to 6:30 pm)
NOTE I have a call into DC Government to clarify about the garage access coming out and verifying the start date
