DDOT Proposal for 12th & Mass Ave Intersection

On Friday, March 1, 2013, our ANC Representative Matt Connolly met with a representative from the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) regarding the neighborhood's issues with gridlock, pedestrian safety, and noise at the intersection of 12th St and Massachusetts Ave, NW.

DDOT has proposed the following changes to the intersection:
  • Revised traffic markings on 12th St., south of Massachusetts Ave: Currently on 12th street between Massachusetts Ave and L St, NW, there are three traffic lanes: right turn only, straight or left turn, and left turn only. DDOT proposes making FOUR traffic lanes: left turn only, left turn or straight, straight only, and right turn only. As part of this reconfiguration, the five parking spaces on the WEST side of 12th street in front of the the Church of Ascension & St. will be removed, in order to allow space for the two "straight" lanes to merge on 12th St north of Massachusetts Ave.
  • Traffic camera: DDOT will recommend to the District Police Department the installation of a traffic/gridlock camera at the intersection.
  • Timing of traffic lights: The DDOT engineering team will look into the possibility of adjusting the timing of lights on Mass Ave in order to avoid overcrowding on the segment between 11th and 12th streets, possibly by shortening the lights at the 12th St intersection by 15 seconds.
  • Road resurfacing: DDOT will address the pavement problems on the north side of Mass Ave between 11th and 12th streets, especially the large bump caused by a utility truck's incorrect resurfacing. DDOT will explore the possibility of repaving the entire block.
At this point, there is apparently not much room to alter DDOT's proposal, but if you have any feedback please share it with ANC Rep Matt Connolly by emailing him at connolly.matthew@gmail.com
