U Street Neighborhood Association

Written by U Street Neighborhood Association
In response to community concerns regarding traffic speeds and pedestrian and bicycle safety on 15th Street, NW north of Massachusetts Avenue, NW, DDOT analyzed various options to reconfigure the street. As a hybrid alternative, DDOT installed the contra-flow protected cycle track between Massachusetts Avenue and U Street as a pilot project. This is both the first protected cycle track and the first contra-flow bicycle lane in Washington, D.C. and as such DDOT is committed to analyzing the cycle track for improvements and lessons to apply to future cycle tracks. Included in this analysis are traffic data (speed and volume), bicycle and pedestrian counts and observations, cycle track user surveys, and general user surveys. If you live or work on or near 15th Street NW between Massachusetts Avenue and U Street, or if you use this stretch to walk, cycle or drive, please visit the on-line survey .

The U Street Neighborhood Association reaches from 16th Street to 8th Street and from S Street to Florida Avenue / W Street / Barry Place. Overlapping with our great U Street neighborhood is MidCity DC, stretches down 14th Street from Belmont to Thomas Circle and along U Street from 9th to 17th. Both areas are filled with local restaurants, music venues, galleries, shops and boutiques. It's a destination for so many great and unique D.C. things - art, theater, music, fashion, furniture, food and has such a strong community of artists and entrepreneurs. Once again this year, a big number of local U Street businesses were picked by Washington City Paper's readers and staff writers as the Best of D.C.! The U Street Neighborhood Association joins our many neighbors, and the MidCity Business Association in congratulating this year's winners. After the jump, read the complete listing of the 26 local businesses that made the "City Paper Best of D.C. Readers Poll," the 29 Runners Up in the "City Paper Best of D.C.
