Goals

• A more efficient and safe movement of people into, through, and across the corridor while minimizing the negative impacts of commuter traffic on nearby neighborhoods.
• A transportation system that includes cars, trucks, rail, bus, bicycles, and pedestrians as well as opportunities for people to switch from one mode of transportation to another.
• The ability to accommodate local and regional transportation needs over the next 30 to 50 years.
• New commercial and residential development.
• Avoid displacement of existing residents or exclusion of income diversity.

Upcoming Meetings

Since our October 5 kick-off meeting last year, government staff and consultants have been meeting with area stakeholders and conducting research about the land use and transportation characteristics of the New York Avenue Corridor.

Our most recent meeting was held on January 10, 2004. The recommendations presented at this meeting will be posted on the project website (see the link below). Our next public meeting will occur in the spring of 2004, when a draft final report will be presented with a more detailed description of the recommendations – along with a discussion of traffic, environmental and financing issues. In the meantime, please check out the project website. Comments can be submitted to the website. They will be considered by the project team as they are received.
