ANC6C Transportation and Public Space Committee is scheduled to meet at 7:00pm at the Kaiser Permanente Medical Center, 700 Second Street, NE.
Among items on the draft agenda:
Discussion of Union Market Streetscape – As the Union Market area continues to transition from a commercial warehouse and wholesale market district to a mixed-use activity center, the roads crossing through the neighborhood are seeing a corresponding increase in pedestrian and bicycle traffic. However, the existing streetscape does not support these changing transportation patterns. As a condition of a PUD in the area DDOT collaborated with area developers, business owners, Gallaudet University, and the DC Office of Planning to draft Union Market Streetscape Guidelines to update roadways and public spaces throughout the area for future use. However, these guidelines were drafted and published in October 2017 without neighborhood outreach and ANC input. The Committee would like to discuss current streetscape conditions in the area, short-term solutions to increase pedestrian and cyclist safety, and longer-term improvements to the new streetscape guidelines.
Discussion of NoMa / Mount Vernon Triangle Bicycle Network Study – DDOT recently concluded a study of bicycle infrastructure and ridership patterns in the NoMa and Mount Vernon Triangle areas. The study looked at the region between 6th St NW and 6th St NE, and K St to M St. Current bicycle facilities in the NoMa area primarily follow north-south corridors, and DDOT wanted to explore ways to improve east-west connectivity through safe, convenient, and low-stress routes. DDOT released a report that outlined existing conditions, evaluated bicycle infrastructure in the context of other DC multimodal plans (e.g. Move DC), highlighted known ridership patterns, and provided recommendations for new bicycle infrastructure.
Friends of Southeast Library (FOSEL) meet at 5:30pm at SE Library, lower level.
