A crash that killed a cyclist over the weekend on Florida Avenue NE in D.C. is spurring new consideration for the road.

Officials went out with safety advocates on Tuesday to find potential short-term fixes, as longer-term solutions are not slated to be completed for a few years.

District Department of Transportation Director Jeff Marootian said one of the short-term solutions he’s considering would use concrete highway barriers to block off lanes of car traffic and create a protected bike and walkway. It’s a tactic that’s been used on M Street in Georgetown.

Florida Avenue Northeast is a fast-moving four- and sometimes six-lane road that carries commuters through the District. The sidewalks are too small for wheelchairs and even pedestrians. Currently, there’s no bike infrastructure. The nearby “Dave Thomas Circle”—the confluence of Florida Avenue, New York Avenue and First Street—is one of the most confusing and dangerous intersections in D.C.

The deadly crash over the weekend brought the issue to the forefront again. Two kids died on Florida Ave NE after they were hit by a driver fleeing police in 2004. And in 2013, a woman was fatally struck by a car when she was leaving church. The car fled the scene. For years, neighbors noted the street was too fast and unsafe.

A project to reduce the number of lanes, slow vehicles speeds and add better bike and pedestrian access has been in the works for years but has yet to be finished. A study was completed in 2015. It’s now in the design phase, and construction is slated to begin in 2021.

“It is a project that we’ve been working to accelerate, and we share the community’s sense of urgency to get it done,” Marootian said.

But many safe street advocates say they are tired of waiting and want to see immediate change.
