Can you provide all of the items that were added to the chat?

This is a terribly regressive policy which will only result in more pedestrian fatalities in order to cater to nimbys and rich developers. The city needs to focus on making it's streets safer for pedestrians rather than catering to car dependency. The fact that protected bike lanes are not included in this proposal just shows you how much of a disdain the leadership has for the inhabitants of this area. But hey, who cares how many more kids die in traffic fatalities along Conn Ave as long as there is a buck to be made and Bowser can attend her gold tournys on the Taxpayer dime.

Absolutely pitiful that this is where we end up after the community overwhelmingly made its voice clear that change was desired. Democracy at work. The parking lane is a dumb idea regardless of a bike lane’s presence btw. Parallel parkers are always going to block the second lane when braking; traffic certainly won’t improve. This community is along one of the best transit systems in America but it’s lifeless compared to places like 14th street because of Connecticut’s current layout. Not to mention it’s just an ugly, outdated design. Stop accommodating the trend of increased car sizes, and stop subsidizing the travel of Marylanders who should be taking the metro at the expense of our community and our safety
