The HAWK signal at South Dakota Avenue and Ingraham Street NE is now operational! This is a wonderful step forward to strengthening pedestrian safety and encouraging walkability in Riggs Park.

I want to personally thank all the residents who devoted many person hours to ensuring we got to this point. You wrote letters of support. You spoke with the ANC. You reported many issues with 311. You worked behind the scenes with DDOT. Your dedication will not go unnoticed.  

DDOT was also a valued partner in this endeavor, and I want to recognize them too. They worked with us throughout the spring and summer, providing updates on their progress and hearing our multiple concerns.

If you encounter any issues with the signal, crosswalk, and/or drivers failing to stop, please contact 311 right away.
