Pedestrian Access Takes Center Stage in DDOT Study

The District Department of Transportation wants public input on improving pedestrian access in the city.

Move over bikes and cars, we are entering the age of the pedestrian. 

The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) is taking a new look at pedestrian access within the District and seeks public comment on both what works and what does not. 

DDOT will use public feedback to inform a new long-term plan to remove accessibility barriers for all pedestrians who use DC sidewalks. 

There will be two public meetings on June 27 to allow opportunities for providing in-person input to DDOT staff. 

One will be from 10:30 a.m. to noon at the Martin Luther King Junior Library at 901 G St. NW. The other will be that evening from 7 to 8:30 at the Washington AME Church at 1518 M St. NW.

You may also complete a survey online at http://survey.dac-corp.com/survey.aspx/DDOT.

Additionally, you may send comments to Wolde Makonnen by email (Wolde.Makonnen@dc.gov), phone (202-671-4684), fax(202-671-4684), or mail at 55 M Street SE - 5th Floor, Washington, DC 20003. The deadline is Aug. 1.
