DDOT Connecticut Ave Streetscape

This area is a commercial destination with restaurants, bars, salons, boutiques, small businesses, national chains, hotels, religious institutions, and office buildings. Starting at Dupont Circle and continuing north to California Street NW, the innovative redesign of approximately 2,600 feet of roadway will enhance mobility, safety, and repurpose of unused existing spaces. A new deck structure over the Connecticut Avenue underpass will create a new multi-use public space for events such as a farmer’s market, outdoor movies, music, plays, and cultural events. As part of the streetscape redevelopment, DDOT is working to further develop the appeal of this section of Connecticut Avenue for all users–drivers, walkers, bikers, tourists, and metro-users. The street redesign will include bicycle and pedestrian amenities, pedestrian-friendly traffic, and green infrastructure elements, rebuilt curbs, gutters, sidewalks and pedestrian ramps, and intersection improvements.
