Building a Framework for the Future: National Capital Planning Commission Annual Report 2006, October 1, 2005-September 30, 2006
The National Capital Planning Commission forged a number of rewarding partnerships during Fiscal Year 2006. Working closely with other federal and local agencies, we launched several major initiatives that we believe will benefit the national capital and all Americans. By joining forces with other stewards of our capital city, we believe we can set Washington on a steady course for success in the 21st century. In partnership with the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts, NCPC launched the National Capital Framework Plan. The plan will serve as a catalyst for change by identifying new and exciting locations for cultural attractions in areas beyond the National Mall. As stewards of the nation's capital, we share the joint goal of making Washington a more livable and vibrant capital city while preserving the historic character of its treasured spaces. The Framework Plan will provide a roadmap for improving the city's cultural landscape and visitor amenities. In collaboration with the District Department of Transportation, NCPC began exploring ways to improve mobility in Washington by examining alternative routes for eight miles of rail lines that cut through the city center. The Railroad Realignment Feasibility Study will show the economic benefits of restoring access to the Anacostia waterfront, improving views along monumental corridors, and reuniting the southern part of the city with the central business district. NCPC also joined forces with the National Park Service and the District of Columbia to chart the future of Washington's parks and open spaces. As a result of this joint ventureCapitalSpacewe now have a thorough inventory of the city's open spaces. Our next step is to establish goals for the creation and preservation of parks and green space in Washington. By adopting a coordinated approach, the CapitalSpace partners can maximize resources and develop an effective, integrated park system for the nation's capital.
