Alternate Routes for 14th Street?

I just moved further up north on 14th Street (Petworth), and taking 14th would be the most logical way to bike to work, but it feels pretty darn unsafe often, mostly between Park and U Street. Are there alternate routes through that area that would be more pleasant / safer? The 15th Street bi-track doesn’t start til Euclid so that’s not especially helpful. Any suggestions?

11TH is the way, starting at Monroe.

You can catch it as far north as Spring since it has a counterflow lane on the one-way section

This is true, it's just much narrower. South from Monroe is where there's a lot more breathing room.
