Welcome to the Maryland Avenue Pedestrian Safety Corridor Project Website.

In 2010, City Council identified initial funding for implementing the 2009 DDOT Pedestrian Master Plan. The Council specifically identified several important corridors in the District, including Maryland Avenue, NE, that have a history of hazardous conditions for pedestrian travel. The Council charged DDOT with improving pedestrian safety and access and calming traffic to make Maryland Avenue a safer and more livable street for all who use it.

This project focuses on improving safety for pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists and transit users along Maryland Avenue. The study corridor is Maryland Avenue, NE between Constitution Avenue, NE and 15th Street, NE (see project area map). Concerns of neighborhood residents and others that travel the corridor will be gathered through public meetings as well as an interactive map and comment form, both found on this website. This information will be combined with traffic condition analyses and field survey to generate and evaluate safety improvements and design alternatives for Maryland Avenue.
