7. K Street Mall is no more.

Only one block remains closed to vehicle traffic. The rest is not open to cars. I ride my bike to my gym which is located on K and 10th. Another factor on that street is the presence of the light rail.

I don't think we need to close streets to cars. I think the best solution is well-defined bike lanes. On Capital Avenue, west of 9th street, the bikes lanes are painted green. I think that's a good idea - it makes the lanes more visually apparent to all.
