The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) announces three public open houses on the future of the Whitehurst Freeway. The content, which will be the same each evening, will focus on DDOT’s continuing study of alternatives, including a number suggested during the design workshops held in the spring as well as others based on research conducted over the summer. 

 

Open House 1	Open House 2	Open House 3
Tuesday, November 15, 2005	Wednesday, November 16, 2005	Monday, November 21, 2005
The Melrose Hotel	Bank of Georgetown	St. Mary Armenian Church
2430 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW	1001 Wisconsin Avenue, NW	4125 Fessenden Street, NW
Washington, DC 20037	Washington, DC 20007	Washington, DC 20037
5–9 pm	5–9 pm	5–9 pm

The alternatives take into account engineering requirements, traffic and land value impacts, waterfront and pedestrian access and other potential effects of modifying or removing the Whitehurst Freeway. DDOT staff will be on hand at these informal meetings for one-on-one discussions. All comments and suggestions are welcome.
