DDOT will hold a meeting on Thursday, June 20th on interim plans to remake Florida Avenue NE between 2nd and 14th. The purpose of the project is to address safety concerns along the corridor by reducing vehicle speeds, improving pedestrian crossings, and providing protected bicycle infrastructure. The meeting will be at New Samaritan Baptist Church, Fellowship Hall; 1100 Florida Avenue NE from 7pm to 8:30pm.
This is, of course, the section of road where Dave Salovesh was killed in April. As a result of that crash, DC Council passed emergency legislation to push DDOT to get work done on this sooner, and now it is expected to begin later this summer.
