Editor's Notes
- #7 DDOT- agency of the government of the District of Columbia which manages and maintains publicly owned transportation infrastructure in the District of ColumbiaRole - Develop and maintain a cohesive sustainable transportation system that delivers safe, affordable, and convenient ways to move people and goods—while protecting and enhancing the natural, environmental and cultural resources of the District.
- #8 Current: DC CirculatorNear future Streetcar
- #9 Over 200 years later, L’Enfant’s layout of the City remains largely intact, and provides both opportunities and challenges to modern pedestrian travel. While some parts of Washington, DC are known throughout the world for being great places to walk because of the grid network and tree-lined streets, others are not. Many of the grand avenues have become major arterial roadways, carrying heavy volumes of traffic and presenting challenges to pedestrians
- #10 Pedestrian Program goals 1) To reduce the number of pedestrians killed and injured in crashes with motor vehicles2) To increase pedestrian activity by making walking a comfortable and accessible mode of travel throughout all parts of the District. Updated over 95% of the District’s 1550 intersections with countdown pedestrian signals (the most new pedestrian signals of any major city in the US). Made signal changes in June 2007 to intersections with high pedestrian crash rates, such as the intersection of 7th and Pennsylvania Avenue, NW. Adjusted pedestrian signals along Pennsylvania Avenue, NW (5th St. to 13th St. NW) in July of 2007 to provide sufficient time to allow pedestrians to cross the roadway in one walk signal. Completed the District of Columbia's Strategic Highway Safety Plan in February of 2007 which includes pedestrian safety as a significant emphasis area.
