Bicycling has become a popular way to travel within the District. The majority of people biking and driving prefer the separation between bikes and motor vehicles through protected facilities, such as those installed on 15 Street NW and Pennsylvania Avenue NW. To increase safety and mobility within the District, DDOT is looking to implement protected bike lanes within the following three (3) corridors:
Welcome to the District Department of Transportation's (DDOT)'s

Eastern Downtown: Two-way bidirectional protected bike lane on either 6 Street NW or 9 Street NW between Florida Avenue NW and Pennsylvania Avenue NW.
