South Capitol Street Corridor Public Meeting

The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) invites the public to an introductory meeting as we explore ways to transform the South Capitol Street Corridor. DDOT is seeking ideas from the community as part of the South Capitol Street Gateway and Improvement Study of possible roadway, transit, bicycle, pedestrian and other transportation improvements for South Capitol Street between Independence Avenue and Suitland Parkway and on New Jersey Avenue between Independence Avenue and M Street. This public meeting will be a forum for the surrounding community to learn about the study process and provide their ideas about the opportunities and problems in the study area.

The meeting will be held at:

     Van Ness Elementary School
     1150 5th Street, SE
     Thursday, October 17, 2002
     6:30 pm - 8:30 pm
