Project Background

Eastern Avenue is a boundary street between Washington DC and the state of Maryland. The District Department of Transportation (DDOT), in support of DDOT’s moveDC plan and Mayor Bowser’s Vision Zero Initiative, is working to create a safer, more livable, sustainable and attractive corridor. This project is in the design; this June 2022 meeting will be the last public meeting before the final design is completed.

Project Overview

The project objective is to increase multi-modal (pedestrian, bicyclist and motorist) safety and to improve the corridor’s appearance and functionality with new pavement and granite curbs; new sidewalks; addition of bicycle lanes; improved lighting; improved drainage; and new landscaping, while reducing vehicular speeds with curb extensions, signal upgrades and pavement markings.

Key Improvements

DDOT has integrated the following key elements into this project since the public meetings based on community feedback:
• Signal modifications and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) improvements at the intersection of Eastern Avenue NE and New Hampshire Avenue NE
• Signal modifications and ADA improvements at the intersection of Eastern Avenue NE and Kansas Avenue NE
• New traffic signal and intersection reconfiguration at Eastern Avenue NE and Sligo Mill Road NE
• Full depth roadway pavement reconstruction for the entire length of the project
• Street lighting upgrade for the entire length of the project
• Granite curbs for the entire length of the project
• New inlets and replace and upsize damaged existing inlets
• New sidewalks and replace damaged existing sidewalks
