MID CITY EAST INITIATIVE: JUNE OUTREACH
The Mid City East Initiative is a joint effort of the Office of Planning (OP) and District Department of Transportation (DDOT) to holistically plan for transportation, commercial revitalization, redevelopment, historic resources, sustainability and parks and open space. We are currently in the existing conditions phase and will be developing draft recommendations over the summer.  
We have created 4 major ways for the public to provide input in June:
PART 1: ONLINE ENGAGEMENT
We want your thoughts! What do you want to preserve, enhance, and transform within Mid City East? Share your ideas at engage.midcityeast.com!
   
Also, see you at www.midcityeast.com! Get all of the latest information, presentations and updates on our project web-site.
PART 2: JOIN OP FOR NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS
Learn about neighborhood existing conditions and analysis. Help develop small area plan goals. 
June 12, 6:30©\8:30pm
Meeting Focus: Eckington, (portions of) Edgewood ¨The Summit at St. Martin`s, 116 T Street NE  
PART 3: DDOT's 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!
