It’s now a little easier to cross Florida Avenue at R Street

After much neighborhood lobbying, DDOT installed a new traffic signal at Florida Avenue and R Street NW in Bloomingdale.  The light includes a pedestrian signal that will make it easier to cross Florida Avenue. Before DDOT installed the light, pedestrians had to pray that drivers on Florida Avenue would obey the law and yield at the crosswalks.

In unrelated news, two vintage transit buses are parked on the vacant lot at the northwest corner of the intersection.
