Small Area Plan Implementation

If you click on the “Neighborhood Document Library” tab in the menu at the top of the page, you will see a document entitled Riggs Road and South Dakota Avenue NE Small Area Plan. This small area plan was approved by the DC council in 2009 and it serves as a blueprint for development in the neighborhood.

For reference, below is a snapshot summary of the plan:

A number of DC agencies are responsible for implementing the plan. Take a look at the most recent implementation report created for fiscal year 2015. Notice not much has changed from the Riggs Road/South Dakota Avenue SAP Fiscal Year 2012 Implementation Report.

DC agencies rely on residents to bring to their attention items that residents would like to be addressed. Are there “No Action” or “Future” items listed that you would like to see action taken on? Are there items “in process” that you have questions about or that you would like to comment on?

  1. Sadly, this information should be discussed at our ANC and Civic Association meetings. It should not dominate the meeting, but the audience should be kept aware of what is occurring on their behalf.

    In terms of issues, what is the status of the National Capital Planning Commission Project, RSD-UNE 2.7-N: Parks and Open Space: Implement Capital Space Initiative recommendations for improving access, signage and safety at Fort Totten Park.

    I realize that this project is ‘In Process’, but does it include the National Park Service’s (NPS) plan to build a pedestrian walkway on the NPS property east of the Fort Totten Metro station between Galloway and Gallatin Streets, NE. Also, will it address the tentatively planned bike trail on the southern portion of Galloway Street, NE (between Fourth Street and South Dakota Avenue) by the Metropolitan Branch Trail (MBT) and DDOT? Just wondering.
