Studies
& Projects Affecting Southwest, DC
Anacostia
Waterfront Corporation (AWC)
Tis a government-sponsored
enterprise of the District of
Columbia established in 2004 to
lead the revitalization of lands
along the Anacostia River and
coordinate environmental and
programming initiatives that
promote river clean up, public
awareness, and enjoyment of the
river.
The AWC will work with the
community, government and business
partners to design and implement
plans to clean the river and its
shores, create streets and transit
lines that open the river to the
public and develop cultural
destinations that will enrich the
lives of DC residents and visitors
alike. As the riverfront blossoms,
it will create economic
opportunities and the AWC will
ensure that current residents
share in these opportunities. For more information, see

L'Enfant
Promenade Urban Planning Study General/Tourist Information
The
District Department of Transportation in coordination
with the Federal Highway Administration, the National
Park Service and the Washington Interdependence Council,
is pursuing an urban planning study to identify and evaluate
rehabilitation options and modifications to the existing
roadway and sidealks for the L'Enfant Promenade, located
in Southwest DC. L'Enfant Promenade runs from Independence
Avenue to Water Street, linking the Mall to the Southwest
Waterfront. The study is investigating ways to improve
connections in the area and to the Southwest waterfront.
This study will be followed with an environmental assessment.

South
Capitol Street Corridor Study
DDOT is conducting a study of methods to make improvements
to promote commercial, recreational and residential
activities and to improve pedestrian and vehicular access
on South Capitol Street and the Frederick Douglass Bridge
between Independence Avenue and the Suitland Parkway,
and on New Jersey Avenue between Independence Avenue
and M Street Southeast. Information is at ddot.dc.gov
Fourth
Street SW Transportation Study
The
District of Columbia Department Transportation (DDOT)
is conducting a study that evaluates the potential impacts
of proposed redevelopment at Waterside Mall. The study
area is located in Southwest Washington, DC, and includes
3rd, 4th, 6th, 7th, G, I and M Streets surrounding Waterside
Mall. Because of improved levels of service, reduced
delay and queue lengths, and reduced traffic on local
residential streets, the Study Team recommends that
4th Street be connected between I and M Streets and
that this connection be made available to vehicles.
This report summarizes recommended mitigation measures
for existing conditions and includes some preliminary
recommendations for future conditions. In the next,
final phase of the study, the Study Team will develop
additional recommendations to mitigate the effects of
future development on transportation operations in the
study area. The report can be found on DDOT's Web-site
at ddot.dc.gov
