Community Invited to Learn More, Help Identify Issues and Possible Solutions at M Street SE-SW Transportation Study Public Information Meeting

(Washington, DC) The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) is holding the first in a series of public information meetings about the M Street SE/SW Transportation Study from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm on Thursday, January 12, 2012 at the Westminster Presbyterian Church, 400 I Street, SW so community members can learn about the study and help identify issues and possible solutions.

The nine-month study, being conducted as part of the larger Anacostia Waterfront Initiative, seeks to update the traffic analysis throughout the M Street corridor and Southwest/Southeast Waterfront area to identify current and future transportation issues and possible mitigation strategies. The study area spans from the Southwest/Southeast Freeway south to the Anacostia River/Washington Channel between 12th Street, SE and 14th Street, SW.

The purpose of the public meeting is to provide an overview of the transportation study, outline the study process/schedule and gather public feedback. Following a brief presentation, attendees will be asked to help identify concerns and issues on maps of the study area and also via a brief survey.
