DDOT is installing bus and bike lanes and new bus platforms along Columbia Road from 16th Street to Connecticut Ave. The project improves bus service on one of the busiest stretches of road in the District. It will make clearer for all road users who should be where, and enhance safety for pedestrians and bicyclists. A new bus lane eastbound from 17th St. to 16th St. will speed bus travel through one of the slowest stretches of bus service in DC.
