(Washington, DC) The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) will host a second round of public meetings on July 30 and 31 to continue discussing the roadway improvements that are being considered to enhance pedestrian and vehicular safety on 17th and 19th Streets between Benning Road, NE and Potomac Avenue, SE.

Corridor maps and other visual tools will be made available, as part of the design charrette at each meeting, to help participants discuss and propose street safety improvement solutions.

As part of the safety improvement initiative for this corridor DDOT is further evaluating the transportation safety improvements that were identified in the 2006 Capitol Hill Infrastructure Study to determine which improvements will be most feasible to implement. Included in the improvements that are being evaluated for this corridor are new roadway markings and signage, curb extensions (also known as bulb-outs), ADA sidewalk ramps and traffic signal upgrades. A final meeting will be held to review the consensus for safety improvements.

For more information about these meetings or safety improvement initiative please contact the project manager Mr. Errol Williams at (202) 347-1446 or errol.williams@mckissackdc.com.

The same information will be presented at each meeting. Community stakeholders are welcome to attend each meeting.
