Depending how far you’re going up 1st ST (NE?), an easier (less traffic) route I’ve found- after trying many routes around Union Station and being eternally frustrated with the amount of insane traffic and angled streets, is to continue up 3rd ST to E St, then left on 1st ST NW. Traffic gets a bit weird around the Walmart sometimes, so you can veer left to up go NJ Ave at the GU Law Center, right on I St, left back on 1st, right on K St or go thru the intersection at K to L St, which is an alleyway there. Continue across L St to 1st NE.

Thanks! I’ll give that a shot sometime.
