New York Avenue Corridor Study (2006)
 The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) and the Office of Planning (OP) are addressing current and future transportation needs of the New York Avenue Corridor. The study area includes:
- New York Avenue (US 50) from 7th Street, NW to the intersection with the Baltimore-Washington Parkway
- 7th Street from H to N Streets, NW, including three blocks east and west of 7th Street, NW
Goals
- A more efficient and safe movement of people into, through, and across the corridor while minimizing the negative impacts of commuter traffic on nearby neighborhoods.
- A transportation system that includes cars, trucks, rail, bus, bicycles, and pedestrians as well as opportunities for people to switch from one mode of transportation to another.
- The ability to accommodate local and regional transportation needs over the next 30 to 50 years.
- New commercial and residential development.
- Avoid displacement of existing residents or exclusion of income diversity.
