It would also be great to maintain the bike lanes that already exist. The Florida Ave NE bike lane is a death trap with how chunked up the road is

Leave it as is, it’s how I test how well everything is tied down on my rack and trailer. /s

I am pretty sure there were always part of the interim plan before a final capital project, I recently saw an announcement about that kicking back off. FL going to be a mess for year+, but hopefully worth it.

Can confirm, construction should be starting soon (if not already) on the permanent improvements!

Hell, the state of FL Ave right now, it's barely even a road.

Here's hoping for the big project actually fixes the lane and maybe deletes street lights in the middle of too-narrow sidewalks that make them impassible for strollers or differently abled folks.
