Imagine a Boulevard

Four-lane boulevard from Barry Farm to Greenway

4

In the southern portion where DC-295 runs between the park and the residential neighborhoods, a lower capacity four-lane multimodal boulevard that emphasizes connections between the surrounding residential neighborhoods and the park could fit well into the existing neighborhood fabric. Today, residents have limited options to cross the highway and must use lengthy pedestrian bridges or low-quality sidewalks along underpasses. With the Anacostia Park on one side and newly developable land on the other, this segment of the boulevard could not only facilitate better connections to the park but also provide new amenities to the park itself.

• Dedicated bus rapid transit (BRT) in inner lane northbound and in outer lane southbound

• One lane of vehicle traffic each way

• Two-way cycle track on west side

• Retention median

• Sidewalks on both sides
