DDOT Responds to M Street Inquiries
After we announced that WABA filed a FOIA request to learn more about the status of the M Street cycletrack—and after some press attention on the matter—the District Department of Transportation posted this update on its Facebook page:
In order for us to proceed with implementing the M Street cycletrack we need to complete the environmental review process. We are moving towards completion of this process, which will enable us to move quickly into construction. While our construction season is starting to wind down, we are hopeful that we can still complete the project this year. Actual construction will take an estimated three to five weeks to complete. We realize that this project has been in the works for quite some time and that it was scheduled to be implemented this year. This project remains a priority for us and therefore we will continue to work hard to ensure it can be implemented as soon as possible.
