East Potomac Park to get bike and pedestrian path, replacing car lane
The National Park Service said Tuesday that it would replace a car lane on Ohio Drive around East Potomac Park with a marked, 2½-mile path for cyclists and pedestrians.
The work is expected to start in early December and take about a week, during which time the park will be closed to motorists, pedestrians and cyclists. The project is a partnership with the District Department of Transportation.
The Park Service said the plan is part of a broader effort to improve access to its parks in the District. Drivers often exceed the 15 mph speed limit on Ohio Drive, a stretch of road to Hains Point that also includes large numbers of cyclists and pedestrians, but where a sea wall path for those on foot is closed in many places.
