Significant changes for 2010Below is a list of significant changes for the 2010 CLRP and the FY 2011-2016 TIP. This listing covers changes only to those projects that are considered to be regionally significant, i.e., interstates, principal arterials and some minor arterials, as well as transit facilities. A complete list of all projects planned is included in the 2010 CLRP and FY 2011-2016 TIP Air Quality Conformity Inputs.
New Projects1. DC Streetcar Project This project will build three new segments of a larger streetcar network that is currently being planned by the District Department of Transportation. These new segments will complement the initial Anacostia segment which was added to the CLRP in 2006 and is currently under construction. The streetcars will share a lane with automobile traffic and will run every 10 minutes during peak and off-peak periods. The three proposed segments are:
Two more segments (not mapped) will be added to the CLRP as studies:
See the CLRP project description form and DDOT letter dated April 13, 2010 for more information.
2. Bike Lane Pilot Project This pilot project* will add barrier-protected bike lanes on five streets in downtown DC. The bike lanes will be protected from automobile traffic by either a lane of parking or buffer zone. To accommodate the bike lanes, one lane of automobile traffic will be removed from 9th, 15th, L and M Streets. Two lanes will be removed from Pennsylvania Avenue and the bike lanes will travel down the center median.
* Because this is a “pilot project”, it will not be considered permanent until the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) has evaluated the effectiveness and impacts of the proposed changes. If DDOT decides to make them permanent, they will be required to submit them again for air quality conformity testing in the future. See the CLRP project description form for more information.
3. St. Elizabeth’s Campus Access Improvements The following improvements are proposed to address the increased traffic expected when the Department of Homeland Security moves to the St. Elizabeth’s campus:
See the CLRP project description form for more information.
4. Glover Park Streetscaping/Wisconsin Avenue Reconfiguration Between 34th Street and Garfield Street, Wisconsin Avenue NW will be reconfigured from six lanes down to four lanes with a center left-turn lane. The purpose of this project is to improve the attractiveness of the Glover Park commercial district and to address pedestrian and vehicular safety.
See the CLRP project description form for more information.
5. I-70 Interchange at Meadow Road
Reconstruct the interchange of I-70 and Meadow Road to provide missing ramp movements.
See the CLRP project description form for more information.
6. MD 3, Robert Crain Highway from US 50 to the Anne Arundel County Line
This project was originally included in the 2009 CLRP, but was removed to shift funding for the implementation of the Purple Line. Funding has been shifted from other projects to include this project in the CLRP once again. MD 3 will be upgraded to a four to six lane roadway with improved access control.
See the CLRP project description form for more information.
7. MD 28, Norbeck Road/MD 198, Spencerville Road from MD 97 to I-95
This project was originally included in the 2009 CLRP, but was removed to shift funding for the implementation of the Purple Line. Funding has been shifted to include this project in the CLRP once again. This project will upgrade the facility to a 4-lane divided highway from MD 97 to Old Gunpowder Road, and to a 6-lane divided highway from Old Gunpowder Road to I-95.
See the CLRP project description form for more information. Significant Changes, Delays and DeletionsThe following is a list of regionally significant projects that have either changed in scope, have been delayed by ten years or more, or have been removed from the CLRP (or reduced to “study” status). The District of Columbia has not delayed nor removed any regionally significant projects for the 2010 update. The numbers shown in the third column reference the project locations on the maps of major highway and transit projects in the CLRP.
