    Northwest. The options are 9th, 6th, and couplet of 5th and 6th. From Constitution to Florida, essentially the East End of downtown and Shaw.

    Note alt 2 will likely impact church parking.

    Then why are we even discussing it? No one in DC is willing to spend the political capital to fight a church.

    There will still be parking, but it would go from diagonal to regular parallel (so protecting the bike lane) thus a net loss spaces. Perhaps DDOT had already planned on getting rid of diagonal spots on 6th anyway? I am not sure.

    DDOT should get rid of all diagonal parking in the city.

    Look at M St NW. That was a huge project for DDOT and they folded when a church full of Marylanders threw a fit. I can’t believe this project will be any different.
