From email:

The District of Columbia was recently selected as one of five capital cities to receive technical design assistance from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Greening America’s Capitals program to enhance pedestrian/bicycle safety in the public spaces surrounding the Anacostia Metro Station and to “green” the community through park and recreation areas, improved water and air quality, and community health benefits.

As part of the design process, the District’s Office of Planning, Department of the Environment, Department of Housing and Community Development and Department of Transportation along with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency are hosting a community work session—also known as a “charrette”.
