I've never understood that whole Barney Circle situation. Having the
freeway dead end at the Pennsylvania Avenue Tunnel makes no sense.
People take that illegal ramp up from under the tunnel every day (never
seen anyone ever get ticketed for that), and just drive around to get
on East Capitol Street and onto 295. The  residents aren't "saving the
environment", they're just forcing the cars across Pennsylvania Avenue
to idle at the light before they go on northbound 295. But I guess
pollution's ok so long as it isn't in their neighborhood.

I recall reading in Hill Voice or Hill Rag about some covert plan to
resurrect the bypass under some other name. Considering how gentrified
the area has become, and the nature of the suburban traffic, If it ever
comes to pass, the anti-bypass slogan would probably be "No Black Mens
Roads through White Men's Homes."
