There's no authority needed. Employers would just be giving people an option. Keep in mind, most these rush hour commuters aren't hopping out bed with a smile on their face telling themselves, "work time." They drag themselves in because they are expected there at 8, 9 whatever. Now I understand alot of people with kids and such will stick with a 9-5, but there's also alot of people that would gladly sleep in and work different hours. Alot of people are basically "forced" into what we have now already.
I get what you're saying, but my point is that this won't be a matter of public policy or traffic control. So much of our economy is interconnected that I don't necessarily know how much flexibility everyone has.
I need to be answering phones, faxes and emails during the day when clients are in touch with me. Not at 6 am or 9 pm. I imagine the federal workforce, lawyers, lobbyists, news organizations etc. are largely the same way.
Technology and gas prices have shifted more of the workforce into flex-time and telecommuting, and I expect that trend to continue for years to come. But it won't make an impact on the traffic around here.
An exit there was planned back in the early 90's by then Mayor Sharon Pratt Kelly but the NIMBY's blocked it. The Barney Circle Project would have connected 295 & 395 in both directions with a new bridge north of Pennsylvania Ave.
Yes, this is the correct answer. There is also a great deal of federal National Park Service land there along the river as well.
Let's start a petition in favor of Pennsylvania Ave West!!!!Moderator cut: link removed, read the tos
Yes. Howard Rd is an option, but it's extremely congested!!! It's very annoying and time-consuming to do a U-turn from Pennsylvania Ave East to get on 395. It's becoming quite dangerous as well! What are your thoughts?

Are you not aware this problem is currently being address with the new 11th Street Bridge?
The new 11th Street Bridges ramps are already under construction and should be completed by the end of the year eliminating the U-turn on Howard Road and the left turn lanes on Pennsylvania Ave as well as reducing traffic on the Sousa Bridge. The new bridges are already in used with the local bridge opening this summer.
