DISTRICT DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Led by the District Department of Transportation (DDOT), the Pennsylvania Avenue Southeast corridor project (Penn Ave Southeast) is a transportation planning study focused on improving safety and mobility for bicyclists, pedestrians, transit and vehicular travel along this east/west connection from the west side of the Sousa Bridge to 2 nd Street SE near the U.S. Capitol. The project's development has been shaped by previous studies, recommendations, public involvement and input... The Penn Ave Southeast corridor represents an opportunity to link popular destinations in the Capitol Hill, Eastern Market and underserved Southeast neighborhoods. The proposed separated bicycle lanes will close a critical gap in the District's bicycle network, providing a strong east-west connection between the Anacostia Riverwalk Trail, two Metrorail stations (Eastern Market and Potomac Avenue) and the 4 th Street/6 th Street SE paired bike lanes corridor... Penn Ave Southeast was designed as a boulevard..
