DDOT MID CITY EAST LIVABILITY STUDY!
Concurrent with OP's small area planning effort, DDOT is developing strategies for the neighborhood streets of Mid City East to provide safe pedestrian and bicycle  access to transit and community amenities; reduce cut-through traffic and speeding on local neighborhood streets; and enhance landscaping to minimize stormwater runoff.

Design on the fly!
