This is not new news. I just ran across this at the website of the Washington Area Bicycle Association (WABA).
Note that these maps are from WABA and not from DDOT.
I have no idea what DDOT thinks of this proposed bicycle network.
Perhaps the bicycle network devotees can comment…
See these proposed WABA protected line projects. I have highlighted the Bloomingdale area.
From the WABA website: https://waba.org/
"WABA is calling for 20 miles of new or upgraded protected bike lanes installed by the end of 2020. [more]
This map shows existing protected bike lanes, paved trails and paths, and proposed protected bike lane projects. Together the existing and future infrastructure creates a connected, protected and equitable bicycle network
Note: the trails and paths illustrated not a comprehensive inventory of all existing trail facilities.

I looked at the WABA maps for three time periods: 2020, 2021-2025 and 2040. I included snips of the maps of the Bloomingdale area.
1) 20x2020 – connected, protected and equitable bike network – including 5th St NW and Lincoln Road NE
2) 2021-2025 protected bike lane projects – including Florida Ave NE & 1st St NE in NoMa
3) 2040 on-street bike network vision – including 4th St NW, Rhode Island Avenue and Florida Avenue
FYI.
Wonderful, I eagerly await these improvements to make our neighborhood streets safer, more equitable, and more sustainable. I have also financially contributed to WABA and encourage others to do the same.
