Mt Pleasant Transportation Study Meeting

This may be the last chance to see and ask about the recommendations and improvements included in the Mount Pleasant Transportation Study.

Generally, the purpose of the DDOT study, in it's own words are:

"...to examine the existing and future traffic conditions in Mount Pleasant, and to identify transportation-related improvements needed to enhance efficiency of all modes of transportation, promote safety of all road users (vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians), enhance streetscape. and to address transit, bicycle and pedestrian transportation needs."

I'm guessing Ward One council person Jim Graham will be there, as well as some significant staff from the Department of Transportation.

Transportation Study Meeting Tonight

The District Department of Transportation will be holding a public meeting tonight at the Mount Pleasant Branch Library. The meeting will summarize the input of residents about the Mount Pleasant Transportation Study, which is ongoing. Currently the Final Report will be released in February or March of 2008 with actual work beginning sometime after that. I'll be happy if DDOT reduces double parking on Mt Pleasant Street (maybe more of an enforcement issue) and makes the roads safer for bikers (dedicated lanes please!). The Library is located at 3160 16th St NW and the meeting begins at 6:30PM. Ward One City Councilmember Jim Graham will be present.
