The first public meeting for the C Street NE Mulitimodal Corridor Study will be held at Rosedale Recreation Center on April 30, 2015 from 6:00 to 8:30 p.m. Open house begins at 6:00, followed by a presentation at 6:30. Click here for details.
The DC Department of Transportation (DDOT) is conducting a multimodal corridor study of C Street NE between 16th Street NE and 21st Street NE (study area map). Building on the hard work from the previous C Street study in 2010, DDOT is conducting this study to evaluate the current and future multimodal transportation conditions along the corridor, and to refine previous recommendations and concepts for improving mobility and safety for all users. The concepts developed for the previous study (located here) identified a range of measures to improve conditions for non-auto users, expand streetcaping and “green” infrastructure, and balance the needs of passenger and freight vehicles. Much has changed in the area since 2010, including completed construction projects on Benning Road and the 11th Street Bridge. These completed projects have substantially affected how C Street NE is being used by motorists today. As a result, this study will be relying on a range of new data and analysis to better understand how the previous concepts, including potentially revised concepts, affect how we will use the corridor in the future. While the specific extents of the study include C Street NE between 16th Street NE and 21st Street NE, DDOT will also be working to understand any impacts these potential changes may have on users and residents of adjacent streets in the study area.
This section of C Street currently has bike lanes.
This project looks awesome! Dare I say it, it looks almost Dutch.
All three options have protected bike lanes and raised crosswalks. This is a really big deal for walking and bicycling if it can be achieved.
