The study area includes numerous existing green spaces— EXISTING parks, National Park Service Reservations, and smaller GREEN SPACE patches of grass and landscaping—located adjacent the sidewalk and street that can be strategically employed to capture and filter stormwater runoff.

STORMWATER Within the pedestrian zone, bioretention planters temporarily capture and filter stormwater runoff from MANAGEMENT adjacent impermeable surfaces, thereby reducing the PLANTERS volumes and velocity of water entering the sewer system.

Rain gardens are planted depressions that allow rainwater to infiltrate into the soil. Within the study area, rain gardens RAIN GARDENS would be most appropriate in parks, NPS reservations, behind sidewalks, or within large traffic islands.

Replacing expanses of pavement with green spaces and permeable surfaces not only increases the amount of IMPERVIOUS stormwater captured but also expands the amount of SURFACE root space available for trees. Traffic islands and areas of REMOVAL excess pavement along sidewalks, as well as the spaces in between tree boxes, are candidates for impervious surface removal.

Permeable paving absorbs stormwater and allows water and nutrients to access tree roots below. While many PERMEABLE types of permeable paving exist, with varying degrees of PAVEMENT maintenance requirements, Flexi-Pave is recommended for use in areas where mature trees and sidewalks must coexist within a tight space.

The Recommended Alternative identifies locations where new trees are recommended in order to fill gaps in the PLANTING NEW tree canopy. In addition to providing shade and creating TREES a buffer between the street and sidewalk, planting new trees in stormwater planters can provide additional stormwater management benefits along the streetscape.

STREETSCAPE ENHANCEMENT Opportunities

The Recommended Alternative provides a range of streetscape and public realm Sidewalk enhancements that improve pedestrian accessibility, safety and comfort. At the Amenity Zone same time, these improvements enhance the corridor’s overall visual character and sense of place, thereby supporting the area’s evolution into a local and regional Planting Strip destination. The recommended streetscape enhancements preserve existing curb Bus Stand cuts, maintaining access to adjacent land uses. Moreover, existing or relocated bus stops are coordinated with existing or newly-planted street trees to ensure easy Existing Tree access to bus stops. Proposed Tree Lights

Streetscapes are improved throughout the corridor to create a uniform pedestrian environment with a common family of streetscape elements. Where sufficient sidewalk space exists, distinct amenity zones are established between the main sidewalk and the curb. Sidewalk and Amenity zone elements include special paving (i.e., brick pavers, Amenity Zone Improvements stamped concrete, etc.), continuous rows of evenly-spaced street trees, expanded landscape strips and pedestrian-scale lighting, thereby creating a defined street edge, sidewalk buffer, and consistent visual character.

Along some sections of Florida Avenue and 6th Street, sidewalk widening enables a more comfortable pedestrian environment as well as the introduction of new streetscape elements. The wider sidewalks are compliant with Americans with Disabilities Act accessibility requirements and create a more favorable streetscape environment Sidewalk for the local deaf population. Widening • Along the south side of Florida Avenue, between West Virginia Avenue and 2nd Street NE, sidewalks are widened by 5 to 6 feet, creating wider spaces for pedestrian passage, new amenity zones, and a better buffer between existing townhomes and the street. • Along 6th Street north of Florida Avenue, relocating the curbs creates an expansive pedestrian zone on the west side of the street that can accommodate sidewalk seating for future mixed- use development, potential event space along the street, street furniture, a 14-foot sidewalk, and an amenity zone with street trees. Curb relocation on the east side enables 10-foot sidewalks and a new amenity zone adjacent to the two-way cycle track. • On 6th Street south of Florida Avenue, widened sidewalks establish greater separation between existing homes and the roadway, as street trees in a new amenity zone buffer the sidewalk from passing traffic.

The primary reason for this recommendation and not full-time parking is the high peak period, peak direction traffic volumes on this section of Florida Avenue. As identified in the preceeding volume and speed graphs, a typical arterial roadway trait is heavy peak period, peak period traffic volumes. In this case, 40% of the total daily traffic occurs during peak periods (7-10 AM and 4-7 PM). Using the 2010 Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) as a method for approximating typical arterial conditions (i.e., the most conservative approach to determining the arterial capacity with 1 travel lane per direction), we should expect Alternative 4 to have a roadway capacity (i.e., level of service E) of about 12,500 daily trips or 640 peak hour, peak direction trips. The collected daily volume currently exceeds this by about 3,500 vehicles per day (trips that would need to find an alternate route due to capacity constraints). There are four (4) hours of the day where the peak hour, peak direction volumes exceed the aforementioned capacity (640 vehicles per hour): 7-9 AM and 4-6 PM (see graph). Capacity is considered level of service E, so in order to maintain DDOT’s level of service D requirements, the volume thresholds are closer to 11,840 daily trips or 600 vehicles per hour per direction). The LOS D volume threshold and capacity threshold are shown in the graphs. It’s also important to consider this is based on existing volumes.

For decades, the wholesale nature of the Market has meant high numbers of trucks accessing the area for deliveries and limited infrastructure for non-auto users. Sidewalks are often blocked by delivery trucks and dumpsters, while the lack of signing and pavement markings often results in a chaotic environment of activity at times. This study aims to support the changing nature of the Market through concrete actions along Florida Avenue, while also providing supporting analysis, findings, and direction within the Market to ensure safe and convenient access to all users. As the Market develops, it is imperative that the streetscape and transportation infrastructure adapts to accommodate new users, while ensuring continued accommodation of the traditional land uses.

The below figure shows the proposed short term changes to the Virtual Circle, as described in the recommendations on the previous pages. These interim changes are expected to improve safety and operations for motorists, transit users, pedestrians and bicyclists.

However, Alternative 2 requires relocation of the access to 64 New York Avenue and other properties along O Street. It should be recognized that both alternatives provide incremental improvements over the current Virtual Circle with the short- term improvements in place, given that the area will continue to see high traffic volumes and congestion.

This alternative creates a conventional, four-leg intersection between Florida Avenue and New York Avenue. Operations are greatly simplified but some movements that exist today are not possible with this configuration. First Street and the fast food restaurant become public space.

This alternative links creates a conventional, four-leg intersection between Florida Avenue and New York Avenue and adds a connection between First Street in NoMa and Eckington Place. This connection maintains most, but not all, of the movements that exist today and would be eliminated with Alternative 1

As some of these short-term recommendations come to fruition, DDOT will be working with design firms to develop a full design of Florida Avenue NE between 2nd Street NE and Holbrook Street. Pending funding availability, reconstruction of Florida Avenue could occur in 2021, or sooner, pending project readiness and funding availability. The District Department of Transportation expects and encourages ongoing dialogue about Florida Avenue and surrounding streets beyond this planning study. Project milestones and known next steps will continue to be shared with the Community Outreach Advisors group and regular check-ins with ANCs.
