(Washington, DC) The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) will host an information display booth for the Pennsylvania and Potomac Avenues, SE, Intersection Pedestrian Improvement Project on Thursday, November 6, 2014, at the Potomac Avenue Metro Station at 700 14^th Street, SE. The public can learn more about, and comment on the updated design concepts proposed to improve pedestrian safety at this intersection.

This transportation project focuses on pedestrian safety and open space improvements for residents and multimodal transit users at this important and highly traveled intersection. The project is one in a series of transportation, environmental, economic, community, and recreation projects included in the larger Anacostia Waterfront Initiative (AWI) Program. From the Tidal Basin to the city’s northeast border with Maryland, the 30-year, $10 billion AWI Program is transforming the shores of the Anacostia River into a world-class waterfront.
