Capitol Hill’s unique layout is ideal for the urban pedestrian and cyclist lifestyle. With its relatively flat topography and street-lined tree canopy, the sprawling low-density residential neighborhood can easily access entertainment corridors (i.e. Barracks Row & H Street, NE), parks (i.e. Lincoln Park & Stanton Park), outdoor gathering areas (i.e. Eastern Market) and, of course, our schools & recreational facilities.

However, for Capitol Hill to be truly accessible to all its residents, comprehensive planning is essential to ensure the highest level of safety & quality-of-life. To achieve this, a transportation design that reduces commuter traffic volumes, prohibits charter buses, restricts commercial vehicles and enforces traffic speeds before vehicles enter Capitol Hill will help preserve and expand a pedestrian & cyclist urban community all Capitol Hill residents can enjoy.
