  • Technical Memorandum Introduction Transit And
    1140 Connecticut Avenue NW Suite 600 Washington, DC 20036 202.296.8625 TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM To: Evelyn Israel DDOT From: Vinay Varadarajan, E.I.T. Jim Watson, AICP PTP Erwin Andres Date: June 5, 2017 Subject: 3450 Eads Street, NE Transportation Statement INTRODUCTION This memorandum presents follow‐up transportation information in support of the 3450 Eads Street, NE project and its Planned Unit Development (PUD) application (ZC Case Number 16‐20). A Comprehensive Transportation Review (CTR) was submitted to DDOT on March 17, 2017 to which DDOT issued an April 24, 2017 Memorandum generally supporting the results of the CTR with some minor requests for clarifications in the Transportation Demand Management (TDM) plan for the project. This transportation statement is being provided in response to items noted at the May 4, 2017 Zoning Commission hearing by members of the community and commission. These included requests for review of neighborhood on‐street parking, curbside management, and existing transit and pedestrian amenities surrounding the site. This project consists of the redevelopment of an existing vacant lot into a single structure five‐story residential building containing approximately 70 senior dwelling units with 17 parking spaces for residents located along the alley north of the site (meeting zoning requirements for the development). Loading will be accessed through the alley west of the site. Based on a review of the surrounding transportation infrastructure, the following conclusions were made regarding the 3450 Eads Street, NE development: . The site’s adequate access to transit, as well as multiple bicycle and pedestrian facilities and other new development in the area results in a safe and effective environment for non‐auto transportation access to the site.

Office of Zoning 441 4th Street, NW, Suite 200-S Washington, D.C. 20001 Re: Comments in Z.C. Case No. 11-02/11-02A (University ofthe District of Columbia- Campus Plan 2011-2020; and University ofthe District of Columbia- Further Processing of the 2011 Van Ness Campus Plan to Construct a New Student Center). Dear Mr. Weinbaum: We respectfully submit these comments in Z.C. Case No. 11-02/11- 02A, referenced above. We are long-time residents ofthe Van Ness/UDC neighborhood, and we live directly across the street from UDC, within about 350 feet of the proposed UDC student center. We have lived at Van Ness North, an owner-occupied cooperative high-rise building, since 2003. Van Ness North is at 3001 Veazey Terrace, across Connecticut Avenue due east ofUDC. We previously lived at Archstone Van Ness (also known as Van Ness South), a high-rise rental building, for over a decade. That building, at 3003 Van Ness Street, is the site of the UDC off-campus housing. These brick buildings are visible in the "UDC New Student Center Prehearing Submission 4/18/11" document on page L 12 ("Existing Tree Photos"), in the lower-right hand photograph and in the upper-left photograph. 1) Objections to the Campus Plan's Transportation Study. The Transportation Report dated April 6, 2011 (Campus Plan Exhibit I), has outdated and inadequate information that calls into question the quality of its findings.

  • 5A DC-Dulles Line
    5A DC-Dulles Line Proposed Change: • Eliminate the entire line. Reason for the Change: • The Silver Line, Fairfax Connector 981, and the Washington Flyer have reduced the need for the 5A direct bus service between Washington and Dulles. • Not as many people ride the 5A since the Silver Line opened. Alternative Transportation Options: • The Silver Line connects L’Enfant Plaza and Rosslyn to Wiehle- Reston East Metrorail Station. From there, passengers can take Fairfax Connector 981 to Dulles, or Fairfax Connector 551 to Herndon-Monroe Park & Ride. • The Washington Flyer also provides service between Wiehle-Reston East Metrorail Station and Dulles Airport. 5A DC-Dulles Line Cambio propuesto: • Eliminar la línea completa. Motivo del cambio: • La línea Silver, Fairfax Connector 981, y Washington Flyer han reducido la necesidad del servicio de autobús directo 5A entre Washington y Dulles. • Ya no tanta gente usa el 5A desde que abrió la línea Silver. Opciones de transporte alternativas: • La línea Silver conecta L'Enfant Plaza y Rosslyn con la estación de Metrorail Wiehle-Reston East. Desde allí, los pasajeros pueden tomar Fairfax Connector 981 a Dulles, o Fairfax Connector 551 a Herndon-Monroe Park & Ride. • El Washington Flyer también presta servicio entre la estación de Metrorail Wiehle-Reston East y el Aeropuerto Dulles. 5A DC-Dulles Line MONTGOMERY COUNTY Proposed Route Elimination 495 Legend WASHINGTON DULLES INTERNATIONAL Metrorail Stations AIRPORT 267 Route 5A DULLES TOLL RD Roads 267 NW D.C.
