View New D.C. bike lanes in a larger map

As WashCycle reports today, at Wednesday's Bicycle Advisory Council meeting the D.C. Department of Transportation gave attendees a list of new bike lanes that are expected to be designed this spring. Based on WashCycle's listing, the above map shows where these new lanes will be.

From my perspective, there are definitely some winners in here -- particularly the 4th Street NW lane cutting through the Mall, the R St. NW lane connecting to the Met Branch Trail, and the long Columbia Road NW lane. (Of course, the usefulness of individual lanes will depend entirely on where you live and where you bike to.) But it's a little disappointing to note that it appears none of these new lanes will be laid down east of the Anacostia River.
