City Seeks Input on Truck Traffic

By Marc Borbely, 536 13th St. NE

The District of Columbia Department of Transportation (DDOT) Transportation Policy and Planning Administration is launching a major study of truck traffic in the District. One of the purposes of the study is to develop recommendations for truck routes that address delivery needs but protect neighborhoods from unnecessary truck traffic. DDOT is asking Advisory Neighborhood Commissioners to complete a survey.

One of the questions is: What are the issues of concern to your neighborhood regarding truck operations (i.e., traffic congestion, noise pollution, air pollution, road vibration, safety concerns, security concerns, other)?

If you have thoughts on this, contact your commissioner directly. (Also, publish your thoughts in the Corner Forum!) If you live in the Corner Forum area and live south of the middle of E Street NE, your ANC Commissioner is Michael Musante (6A05). He can be reached at 548-2542. If you live north of the middle of E Street NE, your ANC Commissioner is Jessica Ward (6A06). She can be reached at 396-3193. §
