TL;DR

The National Park Service will remove DC's 0.75-mile protected bike lane on 15th Street NW, a decision tied to major cherry-blossom events and federal planning, despite a DDOT study showing the lane reduced crashes; local officials and bike advocates criticize the move as unsafe and likely to increase congestion, with protests and a potential lawsuit planned.
