The closure of the Connecticut Avenue sidewalk outside the Van Ness Square demolition site has already had a big impact on Van Ness, especially pedestrians. Neither DDOT, Saul Centers, nor Clark Construction were prepared for the impact of the disruption, but they have tried their best to deal with pedestrian safety issues with assistance of flagmen and MPD.
There is more yet to be done and a chance for the public to weigh in at a public meeting next Wednesday. Come to learn DDOT’s pedestrian and traffic control plans, and response to safety requests such as a covered walkway and pedestrian signals at each end of the construction site to allow for safer crossings. Time, location and more details of the meeting below:

Who is responsible for repairing Connecticut and Albemarle (and other streets affected) to correct the years of heavy equipment and loads of materials and waste driving back and forth on these streets? Saul? Taxpayers?
