Upcoming Great Streets Meeting

H Street is one of several major streets chosen to receive extra funds for major streetscape improvements. Public opinion as voiced at these meetings greatly influences DDOT's planning process. Here's some info on the latest meeting:

Upcoming Events: Great Streets Corridor Meetings

Georgia Avenue - 7th Street NW - H Street NE - Benning Road - Nannie
Helen Burroughs
Minnesota Avenue - Pennsylvania Avenue - Martin Luther
King - South Capitol

Great Streets are coming. The District Department of Transportation has
set aside $100 million to improve six corridors as Great Streets, but we
need you to tell us how. Where do you need new sidewalks, lights, trees
or public art? Where are better pedestrian spaces needed? How can we
improve transit services? What is the character of your street? Do you
want a typical streetscape? Something historic? Something completely
different? What do you see?



Saturday Oct 29 Nannie Helen Burroughs/H Street/Benning/Minnesota
9:00am - noon Friendship Edison Academy at Carter G. Woodson
4095 Minnesota Avenue, NE
(Minnesota Ave Metro or bus routes U2, U5, U6,
