Capitol Hill Transportation Study Final Report September 27, 2006

Capitol Hill residents are encouraged to attend, review and submit recommendations to DDOT's Capitol Hill Transportation Study Final Report.

Come out and help ensure our Capitol Hill neighborhood thrives as a pedestrian & cyclist friendly community.

DDOT Representative: Chris Delfs, Ward 6 Transportation Planner, christopher. delfs@dc. gov

Capitol Hill's unique layout is ideal for the urban pedestrian and cyclist lifestyle. With its relatively flat topography and street-lined tree canopy, the sprawling low-density residential neighborhood can easily access entertainment corridors (i.e. Barracks Row & H Street, NE), parks (i.e. Lincoln Park & Stanton Park), outdoor gathering areas (i.e. Eastern Market) and, of course, our schools & recreation facilities.

However, for Capitol Hill to be truly accessible to all its residents, comprehensive planning is essential to ensure the highest level of safety & quality-of-life. To achieve this, OUT-OF-DISTRICT COMMUTER & COMMERCIAL TRAFFIC MUST BE DISCOURAGED, DIVERTED AND REGULATED AROUND CAPITOL HILL.

A transportation design that reduces commuter traffic volumes, prohibits charter buses, restricts commercial vehicles and enforces traffic speeds before vehicles enter Capitol Hill will help preserve and expand a pedestrian & cyclist urban community all Capitol Hill residents can enjoy.
