Missouri Avenue NW Trail Connection Project Public Meeting

(Washington, DC) - The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) will host a public meeting to gather community feedback on existing conditions and preliminary design concepts for a proposed trail connection along Missouri Avenue NW between 17th Street NW and 14th Street NW. The meeting is intended to provide an opportunity for community members to learn about the proposal, ask questions, and provide input on the project.

As part of the larger Military Road Trail project, this effort seeks to create a safe, low-stress, and accessible active transportation connection that improves access between surrounding neighborhoods and Rock Creek Park. This segment was evaluated as part of NPS's Military Road Trail Feasibility Study completed in 2022, and DDOT is now advancing this portion of the corridor for initial public review and feedback. Identified in moveDC's Bicycle Priority Network and on the National Park Service's (NPS) 2016 Paved Trails Plan, the proposed project aims to address current gaps in safety and connectivity along a corridor that lacks adequate facilities.

In the long term, the project would connect to existing bike lanes on 14th Street NW, the forthcoming Joyce Road NW trail, and provide a critical link to the Metropolitan Branch Trail (MBT), helping to close a key gap in the District's bicycle network. Community input received at the public meeting will help inform next steps in the project's development as DDOT continues its commitment to expanding transportation options and creating a safer, more connected, and accessible network for people of all ages and abilities.
