| DUKE: Framework for a Cultural Destination for Greater Shaw/U Street
In 2005 the DC Office of Planning completed a development framework for a cultural destination district within Washington, DC’s greater Shaw/ U Street. This study provides a small area master plan for the implementation of system improvements. A copy of the Final Study is provided at this link:
The project has now been transferred to the DDOT Infrastructure Project Management Administration (IPMA) for implementation. In the first phase, the IPMA will rehabilitate 7th Street from N Street to Florida Avenue, T Street from 7th Street to Florida Avenue and Wiltburger Street from T Street to S Street NW, to include a new streetscape. The construction is expected to begin in Early 2009. The IPMA is currently preparing blueprints for the construction, and this design work is near 30% complete.
On December 18th, 2007, IPMA held a public meeting to present the concept designs and to solicit public comment. A copy of the presentation from that meeting is provided at this link:
