Agree that narrowing the roadways with corner extensions along super busy 14th Street does not make sense. North-south and east-west traffic was already a nightmare, especially at intersections around DC USA. Bottlenecks extend across 16th Street into Mt. Pleasant due to backups at 14th and Irving, illegal stops/standing and only 2 traffic lanes out of 4 to allow for parking on both sides of Irving street (why?), plus drivers on 16th Street block the box during rush hour in frustration. We understand the need to accommodate large volumes of cars, buses, delivery trucks, pedestrians and bicycles, but purposely creating bottlenecks on busy thoroughfares doesn't do that--it only encourages road rage.

DC DDOT's policy on traffic handling needs a serious tuneup.
