  • Potomac Yard
    Alexandria Transit Vision Plan – POTOMAC YARD The Potomac Yard community is generally located in northeastern Alexandria along Richmond Highway, between Slaters Lane and Four Mile Run. It is currently served by one Metrobus route (Metroway), and two DASH routes (AT-9 and AT-10). For Potomac Yard, the key changes for the 2030 ATV Network include: • AT-9 replaced by the “N8”. The existing AT-9 will be replaced by the new “N8” route with all-day, frequent service from the new Potomac Yard Metro to Arlandria, Shirlington, Mark Center, the West End and Van Dorn Metro. Route will operate every 15 minutes or better, seven days per week, providing significant improvements in transit access for Potomac Yard residents and businesses. • New “N6 route with direct connection to Old Town Alexandria. The new “N6” route will run between Potomac Yard and Old Town Alexandria (King/Washington) via Slater Lane and Old Town North. The direct connection between the new Potomac Yard Metrorail and the heart of Old Town Alexandria will run every 30 minutes, seven days per week. • DASH AT-10 stays the same. The AT-10 route will maintain its current alignment and service levels between Potomac Yard, Del Ray and King Street Metro. • Metroway remain the same. The 2030 network maintains the existing Metroway route at existing levels of service. What can I access via transit in 30 minutes from Potomac Yard at 12pm in 2030?

  • Building Stones of the National Mall
    The Geological Society of America Field Guide 40 2015 Building stones of the National Mall Richard A. Livingston Materials Science and Engineering Department, University of Maryland, College Park, Maryland 20742, USA Carol A. Grissom Smithsonian Museum Conservation Institute, 4210 Silver Hill Road, Suitland, Maryland 20746, USA Emily M. Aloiz John Milner Associates Preservation, 3200 Lee Highway, Arlington, Virginia 22207, USA ABSTRACT This guide accompanies a walking tour of sites where masonry was employed on or near the National Mall in Washington, D.C. It begins with an overview of the geological setting of the city and development of the Mall. Each federal monument or building on the tour is briefly described, followed by information about its exterior stonework. The focus is on masonry buildings of the Smithsonian Institution, which date from 1847 with the inception of construction for the Smithsonian Castle and continue up to completion of the National Museum of the American Indian in 2004. The building stones on the tour are representative of the development of the Ameri­ can dimension stone industry with respect to geology, quarrying techniques, and style over more than two centuries. Details are provided for locally quarried stones used for the earliest buildings in the capital, including A quia Creek sandstone (U.S. Capitol and Patent Office Building), Seneca Red sandstone (Smithsonian Castle), Cockeysville Marble (Washington Monument), and Piedmont bedrock (lockkeeper's house). Fol­ lowing improvement in the transportation system, buildings and monuments were constructed with stones from other regions, including Shelburne Marble from Ver­ mont, Salem Limestone from Indiana, Holston Limestone from Tennessee, Kasota stone from Minnesota, and a variety of granites from several states.

  • Swimmable Potomac Campaign
    SWIMMABLE POTOMAC CAMPAIGN P O T O M A C R I V E R K E E P E R N E T W O R K M A Y 2 0 1 9 - O C T O B E R 2 0 1 9 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS 3 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 6 CITIZEN SCIENCE WATER QUALITY MONITORING RESULTS - 2019 8 CITIZEN SCIENCE VOLUNTEER MONITORING PROGRAM 10 SEA DOG FLOATING LABORATORY 11 LOOKING AHEAD TO 2020 12 WHAT CAN YOU DO TO HELP? 14 TECHNICAL APPENDIX 3 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Potomac River flows through the heart of our nation’s capital on its course to the Chesapeake Bay, providing drinking water for six million people and countless recreational opportunities to millions of residents and visitors drawn to its beauty. The popularity of the Nation’s River for recreation continues to grow, as anyone who has been to the DC waterfront lately can plainly see. People are coming to the river to kayak, row, fish, stand up paddleboard, and swim, encouraged by easy access, beautiful riverfront parks and public boathouses. The one key thing that’s been missing until now is accurate, timely data on whether the Potomac is clean enough to swim and paddle in. To answer the call, Potomac Riverkeeper (PRK) launched its Citizen Science Water Quality Monitoring Program in 2019. Water samples collected weekly by volunteers at ten locations are analyzed in certified labs, including on our flagship vessel Sea Dog, and shared with the public every Friday on the free SWIMGuide app. While water quality has improved dramatically since the passage of the Clean Water Act nearly fifty years ago, the Potomac is still burdened with discharges of untreated sewage and polluted stormwater from D.C.

  • Potomac Park
    46 MONUMENTAL CORE FRAMEWORK PLAN EDAW Enhance the Waterfront Experience POTOMAC PARK Potomac Park can be reimagined as a unique Washington destination: a prestigious location extending from the National Mall; a setting of extraordinary beauty and sweeping waterfront vistas; an opportunity for active uses and peaceful solitude; a resource with extensive acreage for multiple uses; and a shoreline that showcases environmental stewardship. Located at the edge of a dense urban center, Potomac Park should be an easily accessible place that provides opportunities for water-oriented recreation, commemoration, and celebration in a setting that preserves the scenic landscape. The park offers great potential to relieve pressure on the historic and fragile open space of the National Mall, a vulnerable resource that is increasingly overburdened with demands for large public gatherings, active sport fields, everyday recreation, and new memorials. Potomac Park and its shoreline should offer a range of activities for the enjoyment of all. Some areas should accommodate festivals, concerts, and competitive recreational activities, while other areas should be quiet and pastoral to support picnics under a tree, paddling on the river, and other leisure pastimes. The park should be connected with the region and with local neighborhoods. MONUMENTAL CORE FRAMEWORK PLAN 47 ENHANCE THE WATERFRONT EXPERIENCE POTOMAC PARK Context Potomac Park is a relatively recent addition to Ohio Drive parallels the walkway, provides vehicular Washington.

    Water Supply Demands and Resources Analysis in the Potomac River Basin Prepared for The Maryland Department of the Environment by Roland C. Steiner, Erik R. Hagen, and Jan Ducnuigeen Interstate Commission on the Potomac River Basin 6110 Executive Boulevard, Suite 300 Rockville, Maryland 20852 November, 2000 Report No. 00 - 5 I. Executive Summary A. Introduction The objectives of the study include an assessment of current and future water demands (with a focus on consumptive use) to the year 2030, and an estimate of available resources in the non- tidal portion of the Potomac River basin. The Potomac River basin upstream of, and including the Washington metropolitan area is defined as the non-tidal portion. The assessment of future water use in this study will assist the regulatory agencies and water utilities in addressing the future adequacy of fresh water resources in the Potomac River basin. Consumptive use upstream in the Potomac River basin reduces the amount of water allocatable and available for further use by those downstream. The concept of consumptive use as used here is consistent with that of others in the field, including the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS): “That part of water withdrawn that is evaporated, transpired, incorporated into products or crops, consumed by humans or livestock, or otherwise removed from the immediate water environment,” (USGS, 1998). This is not a study that examines the environmental effects of low flow on the flora and fauna of the Potomac River, nor does this study attempt to evaluate future sources of water supply in the basin. This study does not identify potential instances where withdrawals may be greater than flow at the local scale, i.e., in particular tributaries in the headwaters of the Potomac River basin; but instead compares consumptive demand to Potomac River flows at a broader spatial scale.

    WAter DC Citizen Science Water Quality Monitoring Report 2 0 2 0 Table of Contents Dear Friends of the River, On behalf of Anacostia Riverkeeper, I am pleased to share with you our first Annual DC Citizen Science Volunteer Water Quality Report on Bacteria in District Waters. This report focuses on 2020 water quality results from all three District watersheds: the Anacostia River, Potomac River, and Rock Creek. The water quality data we collected is critical for understanding the health of the Anacostia River and District waters; as it serves as a gauge for safe recreation potential as well as a continuing assessment of efforts in the Methodology District of Columbia to improve the overall health of 7 our streams and waterways. As a volunteer program, we are dependent on those who offer time out of their daily schedule to work 8 Anacostia River with us and care for the water quality. With extreme gratitude, we would like to thank all our volunteers and staff for the dedication, professionalism, and enthusiasm to execute this program and to provide high quality data to the public. Additionally, support 10 Potomac River from our partner organizations was crucial to running this program, so we would like to extend an additional thanks to staff at Audubon Naturalist Society, Potomac Riverkeeper, and Rock Creek 12 Rock Creek Conservancy. We hope you find this annual report a good guide to learning more about our local DC waterways. We believe that clean water is a benefit everyone should experience, one that starts with consistent and 14 Discussion publicly available water quality data.

    Transit How the City supports improvements to bus, paratransit, and rail services by working to enhance transit options and access. 26 | ALEXANDRIA MOBILITY PLAN | DRAFT Chapter Layout | 1 ALEXANDRIA MOBILITY PLAN Introduction A robust public transportation system is a key ingredient to a successful community mobility strategy. The 2020 Alexandria Transit Vision Plan has provided a road map to achieve a future frequent, all-day bus network in Alexandria. This chapter will outline transit-supportive policies and strategies that will help the City achieve the 2030 vision of making bus service more convenient, customer-friendly, reliable, and efficient and will build upon the three transitway corridors established in the 2008 Transportation Master Plan. This chapter also considers Metrorail, intercity and commuter rail, and paratransit (transportation for persons who are unable to use traditional bus and rail service) to strengthen critical links between Alexandria and the region. This [2030 proposed] network provides frequent, all- day transit service to 83 percent of people and 81 percent of jobs in Alexandria. – Alexandria Transit Vision Plan 2 | Transit Transit | 3 ALEXANDRIA MOBILITY PLAN Key Context 17% of the Alexandria workforce is employed in sectors 12 such as healthcare, food services, and hospitality5 DASH bus routes, including the King Street Trolley Limited midday, evening, and weekend DASH service means that many workers with non-traditional work hours or who are dependent on 28 700+ 4 transit for other needs must find other
