On January 15, the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) is launching a massive transportation planning process called moveDC.
the project hopes to develop a multimodal, long-range transportation plan for District residents and visitors that incorporates biking, walking, driving and transit. While the WeMoveDC website becomes fully operational January 15, DDOT plans to discuss the project at a symposium February 9, 2013, with time and location to be announced at a later date.
According to a DDOT official, this comprehensive plan will effectively replace the District’s Bicycle Master Plan issued in 2005 and likely the 2009 Pedestrian Master Plan. In their place, the WeMoveDC process would integrate bicycling, pedestrian and other transportation modes into the design and construction of all transportation projects. This process could reflect a “complete streets” policy
Could be great, could be bad. Could be that the DDOT will "rebalance" to avoid the "excessive" emphasis on bikes. Do we have any inside scoop?
