(Washington, DC) The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) will update the public on the progress of the M Street SE/SW Transportation Study by holding the study’s second public meeting on Thursday, May 24, 2012.

The study is identifying transportation issues and possible solutions that will help to encourage a livable neighborhood. The focus area lies within a roughly 1.7-square-mile area along M Street SE/SW and the Southwest Waterfront from 12th Street, SE to 14th Street, SW and from the Southwest/Southeast Freeway south to the Anacostia River/Washington Channel.

This meeting is a follow up to the first held in January 2012 at which the public was given an overview of the study and asked to help identify transportation issues and possible solutions.
