Pedestrian access and safety

Sidewalks too narrow Crossings feel unsafe, especially crossing South Capitol Street Personal safety is still a concern

Bicycles Lots of comments from people who want to be able to feel safe biking Commuters Recreation Bikeshare Bike racks

Traffic Speed of cars on M Street Congestion on South Capitol Street and intersecting streets Cut Through traffic

People Want Access to Amenities Barracks Row Chinatown The Wharf Riverwalk Trail System

People want: The Circulator Improved transit access Bike facilities Water transportation Tour buses out of their way A livable neighborhood

Sustainability & Livability Traffic Operational Characteristics Walkability / Bicycle Accessibility Transit Accessibility and Connectivity Parking Supply & Demand

Public space infrastructure needs to keep pace with private development to promote sustainability and livability

Public space infrastructure improved and updated to promote sustainability and livability

District area plans, upcoming AWI transportation projects Developer plans District-wide Livability and Sustainability Goals, Plans, Policies

Substantial Growth will occur soon and over the next 20 years

Function and character of the proposed transportation system is determined by the type of neighborhood envisioned

DDOTs Mission: Safe & Efficient movement of people / goods Successful streets accomplish this goal by:
designing and providing a in physical space and time for all modes

Balance

amplifying and integrating with the

Diversity

of adjacent land uses and edge conditions

DIVERSITY
The mosaic of adjacent uses and building scales will create a diversity of public spaces and street types with different character

The location of each street within the network and urban pattern will influence its character and design configuration for multiple modes

BALANCE
Not every street has to accommodate every thing every function, every amenity, every experience, or every mode Within any given urban street, gracious accommodation for pedestrian activity is the building block upon which all other modes and functions are layered

so the city calculated the total trips generated by the new intensive land use changes only one way in and one way out

and designed the physical infrastructure to drive a mode split to serve the district

What does a successful transportation system look like in 2035? How will you know the right solution when you see it?

COMMUNITY
Walkable, safe pedestrian infrastructure Access to and mobility within neighborhoods (including transit, paratransit, bike ways) Diverse and balanced transportation options Sustainability: Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions, surface permeable surfaces, reduced pavement

CONNECTIONS
Pedestrian connectivity Bicycle lanes, cycle tracks Freeway connections Improved connectivity to Metro Stations

CAPACITY
Shift the mode split to accommodate increased density Movement of goods to support new retail, restaurants, etc

PARKING
Performance parking Protecting residential parking Maximum parking limits for development
