Thanks to DJ for sending: “the 8th St. NE extension of the MBT from Dew Drop to Brookland Pint is almost done. Cars only northbound now and they are starting to paint the bike lanes and parking spots.”
“Dear PoPville,
I saw you post a while back about the status of bike lanes around Hanes Point, so I wanted to share that the project has been completed. As advertised, it’s dedicated one lane of space to pedestrian/cycle lanes going both directions and a buffer (without barriers) to the remaining vehicular lane.
