NPS assures us this is part of the 4th of July festivities and that the curbs will be replaces shortly.

Opinion | These bike laws are tyranny on wheels
Policymakers are making a basic form of transportation and a familiar element of childhood less accessible.

ICYMI, we’ve heard now from several reliable sources that federal agencies may remove a substantial chunk of the 15th St NW protected bike lanes near the National Mall.
This is some BS.

This is an afront to family biking across #BIkeDC!
Stay tuned for planned action.
And tell your friends outside of DC to call their Senators offices on Tuesday to alert them to this action that will hurt everyone that visits the National Mall
