Rhode Island Avenue Planning Study
About the Project
The Rhode Island Avenue Planning Study focuses on a portion of the corridor between 13th Street NE and Eastern Avenue NE. The study explores the corridor's land use and market potential and examines opportunities for public realm improvements and strategies that better meet community needs and catalyze future investments.
COMING SOON: Rhode Island Avenue Planning Study Released!
After a summer of compiling all we learned and finalizing recommendations, we are excited to share the final report for the Rhode Island Avenue Planning Study.
View the Rhode Island Avenue Planning Study Findings and Draft Recommendations.
An initial report with findings and draft recommendations was shared with the public in late April 2025:
Rhode Island Avenue Planning Study: Findings and Draft Recommendations [PDF]
We wrote the findings and draft recommendations in this report by analyzing land use and market conditions analyses, evaluating public realm conditions including pedestrian assets and needs, and listening to community members and stakeholders. Feedback on these initial findings informed updated recommendations and supplemental guidance in the final report.
