RSS FeedNorth-South Corridor Study Presented To Penn Quarter Neighborhood Association
There was a good showing at the recent December 10 Penn Quarter Neighborhood Association (PQNA) meeting held at Hill Country Barbecue (410 7th St NW). Jamie Henson from the District’s Department of Transportation spoke about the North-South Corridor Study which intends to examine and update the District’s plan for transit along north-south byways.
Streetcar, bicycle, bus, subway, and car transit were all topics of discussion during the meeting although the main interest put forward by DDOT was to determine if streetcar service is needed along the 16th Street corridor to supplement bus and subway service, each of which have their own benefits and drawbacks. Some in the audience questioned the cost benefit of implementing streetcars versus buses. The Park View blog has a nice write up that matches the presentation provided to the PQNA and includes links to the presentation materials and accompanying graphics. The Washington City Paper also has a good, short summary.
As we go into 2014, we’ll be keeping you updated on when future monthly Penn Quarter Neighborhood Association breakfast meetings are scheduled to take place.
