Gravelly Point Park and Roosevelt Island Capital Bikeshare Stations Project Narrative – GWMP Capital Bikeshare Stations 2018 The George Washington Memorial Parkway (GWMP), in partnership with Arlington County, proposes to install two additional Capital Bikeshare stations on GWMP-managed property. The stations complement existing stations throughout Arlington County, in addition to the many stations throughout the region. The Capital Bikeshare program is a regional transportation amenity for visitors and residents and has quickly become a critical form of public transportation. Continued participation in the system fulfills the goal of enhancing bicycle use at the park. Increasing bicycle use reduces traffic congestion, fossil fuel use and air emissions, and provides an additional and affordable form of access to destinations throughout the park. Plans for the two Capital Bikeshare stations are as follows. (1) Gravelly Point Park Location: Along the Mount Vernon Trail, east of the main parking lot. Size: 17 docks, and a terminal that measures 7’-11” tall by 1’ 8” wide. Pre-Treatment: The dock would be situated on a new 52.4" long by 15' wide concrete pad located east of the parking lot adjacent to the Mount Vernon Trail, approximately 5' to 10' north of the trail; the 4" tall slab will sit atop a 4" to 6" of gravel base, resulting in a limit of disturbance of 8" to 10" below finished grade. A crane will not be required for the installation of the station, installation is coordinated with Airport Authorities. Proximity: The Bikeshare station is located off the trail so bikes can be docked and un- docked easily without impacting trail operations. (2) Theodore Roosevelt Island Location: The north side of the southern parking lot. Size: 16 docks, and a terminal that measures 7’-11” tall by 1’ 8” wide. Pre-Treatment: The dock would be mounted directly in the asphalt parking area. The station measures 30' long by 18' wide located in the northwestern corner of the south parking lot adjacent to the Mount Vernon Trail and will occupy 3 parking spots. A curb ramp will be constructed at this location to provide safe access from the station directly to the trail and temporary recycled rubber parking blocks are to be installed to prevent Bikeshare riders from entering the parking lot from the station. Proximity: The Bikeshare station is located in the parking lot so that trail operations will not be impacted. The station locations were selected based on their proximity to visitor destinations, access to compatible modes of transportation such as Metro and bike paths, and connectivity to other Capital Bikeshare stations. Furthermore, the map frames at each station will have no advertisements and will be limited to public service announcements for activities within the park. 1 1.

Code § 9-1008(d)(2)(A). PROJECT SUMMARY The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA) submitted preliminary and final building plans for the Terminal B/C redevelopment project, which includes securing the National Hall with new checkpoints, a new North Concourse project, and the demolition of two existing hangars and central office building at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (Reagan National Airport). To secure the National Hall, the project will relocate the existing security checkpoints from inside Terminal B/C to two separate areas outside this terminal adjacent to the pedestrian bridges connecting to the National Airport Metrorail Station. These two new structures will be located above the exiting arrivals roadway and below the exiting elevated departures roadway. MWAA is proposing to use glass and metal panel materials for the new checkpoint buildings, noting this design aesthetic will be compatible with the existing Terminal B/C in terms of scale, use of materials and architectural features. The standing seam non-reflective metal roof for the new checkpoint buildings has a curvilinear form and has its lowest height on the elevation adjacent to the elevated roadway so the height will not compete with the monumental quality of the exiting Terminal B/C domes.

The National Park Service (NPS) understands that the Element establishes policies to protect and enhance the many federal parks and open spaces within the National Capital Region and that the National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC) uses these policies to guide agency actions, including review of projects and preparation of long-range plans. Preservation and management of parks and open space are key to the NPS mission. The National Capital Region of the NPS consists of 40 park units and encompasses approximately 63,000 acres within the District of Columbia (DC), Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia. Our region includes a wide variety of park spaces that range from urban sites, such as the National Mall with all its monuments and Rock Creek Park to vast natural sites like Prince William Forest Park as well as a number of cultural sites like Antietam National Battlefield and Manassas National Battlefield Park.

  • Running Routes from Yates
    Running & Hiking Routes Out of Yates (plus a few bonus routes) Many of the following routes are a kilometer one side or the other of 10K, but many can also be shortened or extended as you desire. I welcome your questions and clarifications: [email protected] (Tom Sherman, 7-7044) The convention in DC is that walkers, runners and cyclists stay to the right on paths and trails, passing on the left; make your life easier and stay to the right. Another convention in DC is for motorists to run you over, so please run with caution, without headphones, and never run in front of a driver that you have not make eye contact with. If passing someone closely on the left, especially someone elderly, it is good form to announce “on your left” even as a runner. Do not feel required to run out of the Yates Field House, for many of the runs described below may proceed through your neighborhood, in which case, join the route from there. Another great strategy is to use GUTS bus routes and Metro to take you to a destination from which you can run home. This is a great way to learn the city and to see areas otherwise too far to run through as a loop. Many additional DC trails are detailed on the DC area trail map that can be downloaded here: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/706401/Rock%20Creek%20Park%20Map.pdf Exits and Entrances to Yates To condense the route descriptions in the following pages, I will refer to the various exits and entrances to the Georgetown campus as displayed below: A: Medical Center Entrance 4 exit and entrance – turn right immediately out of Yates, circling behind Yates and following the path/road out of Georgetown University Medical Center (GUMC) entrance 4.
