South Dakota Ave
DDOT Meetings – June 11

Following the South Dakota Ave Corridor Safety Study conducted by the District Department of Transportation (DDOT), targeted safety improvements are moving forward on two segments along the corridor using existing project funds:

• South Dakota Ave NE between Lawrence St and Rhode Island Ave

• South Dakota Ave NE between Hamlin St and Bladensburg Rd

DDOT invites neighbors to join DDOT staff and members of my office for community walks along these two segments to learn more about the proposed intersection safety treatments and ask questions. Please consider joining for one or both of these walks!

• June 11 at 9:00 a.m. – Lawrence to Rhode Island segment
  • Meet in the triangle/pocket park at Rhode Island Ave, 24th St, and South Dakota Ave NE

• June 11 at 4:00 p.m. – Hamlin to Bladensburg segment
  • Meet at the northwest corner of Hamlin St and South Dakota Ave NE

Please register to attend here. For more information on the project details please visit the project website.

Councilmember Parker is currently working to secure additional funds in the FY 27 budget to move forward with safety improvements at other segments along the South Dakota Avenue corridor.
