Bladensburg Road, NE Multimodal Safety and Access Study
Bladensburg Road, NE Multimodal Safety and Access Study
Overview
The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) is conducting a multimodal (e.g., vehicle, bus, bicycle, and pedestrian) transportation study of Bladensburg Road, NE between Benning Road and Eastern Avenue. The study will identify traffic safety and access issues and develop solutions to improve safety and access for all users, especially pedestrians and bicyclists. The project will develop two corridor alternatives and evaluation metrics to help the community and DDOT weigh the tradeoffs and select a preferred alternative to take to 30% design.
Study Area
The study area is approximately 2.5 miles in length and includes all of Bladensburg Road between Benning Road, NE and Eastern Avenue, NE (the District-Maryland line).
