The DC Department of Transportation is holding a series of workshops and bike rides in May and June as part of the updating of the DC Bicycle Master Plan.
During the rides and the subsequent workshops, participants will locate and map the best and worst routes and identify new bike lanes, paths and parking spots. "This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to make the District even more bicycle-friendly for all, with safer and more convenient routes and parking spots," said Dan Tangherlini, DC's director of transportation. Bicyclists make more than 25,000 trips every weekday in the District.
