South Capitol Street Urban Design Study
South Capitol Street Urban Design Study The National Capital Planning Commission The District of Columbia Office of Planning January 2003 2 South Capitol Street Urban Design Study The National Capital Planning Commission The District of Columbia Office of Planning Chan Krieger & Associates Architecture & Urban Design Economic Research Associates (ERA) Economic Development January 2003 South Capitol Street Urban Design Study 1 2 Dear Friends and Colleagues: Great city streets are the very measure of urbanity. They are the stage for city life, the place of public contact, and the intersection where com- mercial enterprise and civic aspiration combine. The Champs Elysees in Paris, Commonwealth Avenue in Boston, and Unter den Linden in Berlin all demonstrate how cohesive and dynamic streets define and animate the life of their cities. South Capitol Street can be such a place. This one-mile stretch from the U.S. Capitol to a magnificent waterfront terminus on the Anacostia River has all the potential to rival the great urban boulevards of the world. With bold vision and creative leadership, South Capitol can be reborn as a vibrant city street for Washington residents and as a National Capital destination for all Americans. We envision the Corridor as a bustling mix of shops, offices, hotels, apartments, civic art, and open space. Where the street meets the river could be the site of a major civic feature such as a museum or memorial and offer additional attractions such as restau- rants, concerts, marinas and waterfront entertainment. This South Capitol Street and Urban Design Study was a cooperative effort between the District’s Office of Planning and the National Capital Planning Commission. -

Wilson Building Testimony of Dan Tangherlini, Interim General Manager Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority Good afternoon Chairman Schwartz, Councilmember Graham, and other members of the Committee and staff. I am Dan Tangherlini and it is indeed a pleasure for me to appear before the Committee today as the Interim General Manager (GM) of the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA). I am honored to serve as the Interim GM of the best transit system in America. Before I present our testimony on WMATA’s final fiscal year (FY) 2005 budget spending and the status of our FY 2006 spending, if I may, let me spend a few moments to share with the committee, and the citizens of the District of Columbia who are watching this hearing, some of my priorities for improving our transit operations and customer service. As I shared with the employees at WMATA on my first day, I believe that our customers – riders of Metrorail, Metrobus and MetroAccess, are our chief priority. I would like for my tenure at WMATA to be characterized by an unrelenting focus on improving the reliability of our service, the quality of our interactions with our customers and thereby, the public’s impressions of WMATA. In that regard, one area of immediate focus is MetroAccess. -
