Some More Green DC News and Events

The other day I posted a bunch of local green news and events links on the Bethesda Green blog.

I'd like to mention one article I saw today: D.C. Opens Pennsylvania Ave. Bike Lanes

Apparently they've put the bike lanes in the median, between the two sets of traffic. I'd have to see it before making a judgment on it, but it sounds good to me. I'm all for more bike lanes so folks don't have to cycle in traffic.
