Rebuilding Place in the Urban Space

"A community’s physical form, rather than its land uses, is its most intrinsic and enduring characteristic." [Katz, EPA] This blog focuses on place and placemaking and all that makes it work--historic preservation, urban design, transportation, asset-based community development, arts & cultural development, commercial district revitalization, tourism & destination development, and quality of life advocacy--along with doses of civic engagement and good governance watchdogging.

Adams-Morgan Transportation Study: First Public Meeting Tomorrow Night

From Corinna Moebius--

Traffic delays and congestion, lack of parking, drivers ignoring crosswalks -- these are among the hot topics in Adams Morgan. Do you have suggestions for improving Adams Morgan's streets, streetscapes and parking/traffic problems? What other transportation, urban design and parking issues need attention?

The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) invites you to share your thoughts at the first public meeting for a transportation and parking study of Adams Morgan and a portion of Woodley Park (Conn. Ave. @ Hawthorne St. & Cathedral Ave.). The study is a direct response to citizen concerns about traffic speed and congestion, lack of parking, and the need for improved mass transit and improved pedestrian and bicycle access and safety.

The first meeting is Tuesday, March 29th, from 6 to 8 pm. At this meeting you will learn about the study and its goals and scope. Share your thoughts on what you think are the key transportation challenges in the area, and what you would propose as solutions. Please spread the word to your neighbors and forward this announcement to local listservs. We hope you can make the meeting.

Public Meeting #1
Date: Tuesday, March 29th
Time: 6 - 8 pm
