The new bike lanes on Old Georgetown RD face a lot of opposition from drivers, but MD SHA’s report shows the number of crashes involving a pedestrian or cyclist have gone down from 6 to 0! The number of crashes that resulted in an injury went from 17 to 9!!! All with just an extra 30-60 seconds of travel time for drivers over two miles.

Even if no one uses this bike lane (and people do), this project is 100% worth keeping
