The traffic Flow at Florida and NY Ave intersection is just terrible. Long long delays. One if the worst intersections in the city. When will this intersection be redesigned to fix the problem?

What kind of improvement are you suggesting Laika? A double deck elevated freeway?
This is a busy intersection in a dense, cyclist and pedestrian-rich area, near the NoMa Metro station with currently, major reconstruction activity underway in the vicinity. There are a variety of road users and stakeholders here, e.g. neighborhood businesses. Interstate motorists commuting in from Maryland and Delaware aren't the only stakeholders here.

Hi Chris,
The elevated freeway is a great idea :)
Seriously, though, all I know is that this intersection got much worse after the recent "enhancements." I am sure that there are a number of factors at work, including increased flow, but the whole situation is terrible now - disastrous, in truth. I am a long time biker, and a resident of the area, so I hear you on those dimensions. But I also have to drive through there sometimes to drop kids at school far from the metro station, and it is awful. I am not a traffic engineer (nor do I play one on TV), so I don't know the answer, but I do think DC needs to get blunt feedback from its road users - else how will they know to improve?
