At ANC 4B’s meeting on February 24, 2020, DDOT shared updates about a couple of projects that have been on the backburner.

Rehabilitation of Eastern Avenue NE

The long-awaited rehabilitation of Eastern Avenue NE between New Hampshire Avenue NE and Whittier Street NW has been delayed. DDOT tweaked the design to add a few items to the scope of the project. Construction is now anticipated to start in summer 2021. The project website is https://ddot.dc.gov/page/rehabilitation-eastern-avenue-ne. View DDOT’s handout here.

Metropolitan Branch Trail Fort Totten to Takoma

DDOT is working on the design for the extension of the Metropolitan Branch Trail from Fort Totten to Takoma. According to DDOT’s handout, DDOT expects to complete the design in spring 2021 and for construction to start in summer 2021.

DDOT will be back to visit ANC 4B to give fuller updates on both of these projects later this year.
