Dear ANC Commissioners – To: "Mitchell, Barbara (Council)" <bmitchell@DCCOUNCIL.US>
Subject: Invitation to testify - Traffic Report legislation
Councilmember McDuffie has introduced legislation that could have a great impact on alleviating major traffic issues throughout Ward 5 and the District. I am writing to pass along some information about the hearing for this legislation that has just been rescheduled by Councilmember Cheh’s committee for this coming Monday September 25th. We need to make sure that our neighborhoods are represented so if you are able, please come down and testify in person here at the Wilson building or via written testimony. We also ask that you please forward this and encourage your constituents to do so as well. This is for the Proper Planning for Future Growth Amendment Act of 2017. Details are below.
The Proper Planning for
Future Growth Amendment Act of 2017
This legislation will require
the D.C. Department of Transportation and the D.C. Office of Planning to work
together on a biennial report analyzing each
ward's current transportation infrastructure and future needs. While
individual projects perform traffic studies as part of their analysis of
development impacts and Small Area Plans look at the traffic patterns within
a prescribed area or neighborhood, these approaches are often too narrow.
This legislation will broaden the outlook of transportation studies, and make
this process a regular occurrence rather than an ad hoc response to a given
development.

Witnesses can testify in person on the day of the hearing
Monday September 25th starting at 11am in room 412 of the John A
Wilson building (1350 Pennsylvania Ave NW). Individuals will have 3 minutes to
present and those people representing an organization will get 5 minutes to
present. We request that they bring 8 copies of their testimony to share if
possible. To get on the agenda, they may contact Aukima Benjamin before next
Monday to confirm that they plan to testify in person (abenjamin@dccouncil.us or call
202-724-8062).
Alternatively, witnesses may submit written testimony in a
handwritten or word document by 5:30pm on October 9, 2017 to Aukima Benjamin (abenjamin@dccouncil.us, fax
202-724-8118, or Committee on Transportation and Environment 1350 Pennsylvania
Ave NW Suite 108 Washington DC 20004).
The testimony will be made part of the official record and
help garner support for the amendment. If there are any schedule changes,
our Legislative Director Barbara Mitchell will let us know and we will loop you
in to the reschedule.
Thanks again for your help in helping advocate for traffic
solutions that provide a positive impact for our Ward!
