North Capitol Street Cloverleaf Feasibility Study
Spanning beyond its original extents as found in the 1791 L'Enfant Plan for the District of Columbia, North Capitol Street suffers from its piecemeal development and more recent focus as a commuter arterial road in detriment to its potential role as a symbolic gateway to the historic city core. North Capitol Street travels from area of denser downtown development to the suburban-style area under study to a more neighborhood-scale zone, without addressing any of these situations well. With its cloverleaf intersection at Irving Street and the highway configuration to the north, the Corridor now serves as a significant barrier to bicycle, pedestrian and transit connections between the surrounding neighborhoods. With the prospect of significant new development in the area, the city has a unique opportunity to address this anomalous rift in the city fabric by encouraging a recharacterization of North Capitol Street through urban design, road functionality, transportation, streetscape and public realm improvements. This report explores short, medium and long term improvements that will transform North Capitol into a gateway commensurate with its role while also accommodating transportation and transit upgrades necessary for the continued vitality of the greater region.
