Montgomery making Conn. Ave. more like a freeway

This line from Greater Greater Washington by David Alpert caught my attention.

"In Montgomery County's DOT and the office of the County Executive, however, no transportation idea less than 50 years old seems welcome."

Freeway like designs only make sense when bike/peds are prohibited I will also assert that freeway like designs on local streets is a major contributing factor to why people think bikes do not belong on the road. What ever happened to our #1 policy ratting and Complete Streets?

Isn't Montgomery County the least concern about their percentage of fatalities that are bike/ped? <a href="http://greatergreaterwashington.org/post.cgi?id=7947">http://greatergreaterwashington.org/post.cgi?id=7947</a>;

Like most people I live a hectic life and who has the time for much exercise? Thanks to xtracycle now I do. By using my bike for daily activities I can get things done and get an hour plus work out in 15 minutes extra of my time, not a bad deal and beats taking the extra time going to the gym. In case you are still having trouble being motivated; the National Center of Disease Control says that inactivity is the #2 killer in the United States just behind smoking. ( http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/bb_nutrition/ ) Get out there and start living life! I can carry home a full shopping cart of groceries, car pool two kids or just get lost in the great outdoors camping for a week. Well I got go, another outing this weekend.
