DDOT East Capitol Street Pedestrian Safety Design Project
DDOT East Capitol Street Pedestrian Safety Design Project
This project examined the existing and future traffic, transit, and pedestrian and bicycling conditions to improve pedestrian safety and access as related to street crossings, transit stops, sidewalks, and traffic calming along East Capitol Street Corridor between Stoddert Place and Southern Avenue. KLS also conducted a comprehensive ADA assessment for 3.8 miles of sidewalk covering over 100 curb ramps and 16 intersections for APS, pedestrian signal timing, etc. KLS provided design recommendations consistent with the DDOT Master Plan. We also worked in close connection with the community and DDOT to address project concerns. KLS is also undertaking all project roadway design, including four (4) new intersections inclusive of traffic signals and other ITS systems such as HAWK and Rapid Flash beacons, new curb and gutter, signing and marking, upgrading pedestrian amenties to ADA requirements, landscaping (inclusive of LID designs as applicable), drainage/hydraulic to improve water flow, additional parking lanes, new bike lanes, and required MOT. The corridor design is intended to significantly improve safety and mobility and provide the residents with an improved quality of life.
