The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) is redesigning the intersection of Benning Road, Maryland Avenue, H Street and Bladensburg Road to improve pedestrian safety and create a new plaza. The meeting will review community-generated ideas for design, use and management of the plaza.

I hope that people can make this meeting. A vocal, if unrepresentative pro-car constituency has made its voice known. OTOH, I was surprised to hear Karina Ricks say in a meeting, that the models have been studied, and the change in the road and traffic pattern is going through, even if people want to preserve right turn lanes used by about four drivers/hour.
