From DDOT:

DETAILED PROPOSED ACTIONS

To support these safety goals, the project will implement targeted infrastructure improvements within a 350-foot radius around Roots PCS. These enhancements include installing new signage, upgrading existing signs, and introducing traffic-calming measures to improve pedestrian visibility for students and community members. Additionally, we will apply daylighting and install flex posts in designated no-parking areas to eliminate illegal parking and reduce blind spots, ensuring drivers have a clear view of pedestrians. Daylighting will also be applied near fire hydrants to maintain emergency access. Further improvements include adding and updating crosswalks, installing speed humps and a speed table, and adding a pedestrian refuge island.

There are a lot of proposed traffic and parking changes, so if you care about this, please take a look at the detailed maps included in the NOI for a better understanding of what is proposed.

Submit comments on the proposed changes on DDOT’s NOI portal (NOI-26-59-PSD) by April 10, 2026.
