DC Streetscape Project initiates community outreach with website and signage

The Connecticut Avenue Streetscape & Deckover Project Pre-Construction Public Meeting, held on May 16, 2025, by the Department of Transportation, focused on providing essential updates and information regarding the upcoming project. The meeting aimed to inform the public about the project's progress and how it will affect the community.

Key discussions included the introduction of a dedicated project website and email for ongoing communication. Attendees were encouraged to visit the website at conab-streetscape.dc.gov for the latest updates. The project email, conab.deckover@dc.gov, will be monitored frequently to address any inquiries from the public.

To enhance community awareness, yard signs featuring a QR code will be placed along Connecticut Avenue. These signs will be updated as the project progresses and will direct residents to the project website for further information.

The meeting also highlighted the establishment of a project office on-site, which will facilitate continued outreach to both businesses and residents. Regular updates will be communicated via email and during Advisory Neighborhood Commission (ANC) meetings. The Department of Transportation assured attendees that any information regarding traffic detours and other advisories would be disseminated in advance, allowing residents to prepare for changes in traffic flow.

In conclusion, the meeting emphasized the importance of keeping the community informed throughout the project's duration, with multiple channels available for updates and inquiries. The Department of Transportation is committed to maintaining open lines of communication as the Connecticut Avenue Streetscape & Deckover Project moves forward.
