A true miracle. That first walkabout took place in November almost 3 years ago. Gabe Klein had just been appointed to DDOT position and if he leaves, well this will b a welcome parting gift. Thanks to all of us, ken and Tommy for keeping it alive. Elizabeth T.Hurray!!!
Sent from my iPhoneI lost track of the guest permit idea that was possibly going to be piloted... Can anyone share the status of this?
And right on, Chris! Every space counts!

we only have one car too but it's still tough! I like the idea of trying to balance the loss by restoring those spaces. good proactive thinking!

Love the idea, just heard some about an unfortunate consequence - the south side crosswalks will consume two, possibly 3 parking spaces on East Capitol (according to the onsite manager’s discussion with our neighbors). They will take 33 feet of curb to allow room from the crosswalk to parked vehicles.
Maybe we can get the 13th street parking spaces restored to help compensate for their loss? (right across from Park Café)
Otherwise, as we all know, parking will be further limited for all of us. Thank god we only have one car!

Details on New Raised Crosswalks at Lincoln Park
Written by Charles Allen
Friday, 15 October 2010
Tommy tweeted some of this news earlier, but after working with ANC Commissioner Ken Jarboe and DDOT, we have more details to share for improved safety around Lincoln Park on East Capitol Street.
DDOT is planning to install the improved pedestrian crossings next week, which include 4 traffic calming speed tables (as opposed to speed humps), three of which will be function as raised crosswalks.
Here are the details:
On the north side of the park:
• Restore previous crosswalk at Tennessee Avenue, NE (this will not be raised, but will be located just after a raised speed table).
• Add a new raised crosswalk between 12th and 11th Street.
On the south side of the park:
• Add a new raised crosswalk about 15’ east of the intersection of Kentucky Avenue, SE.
• Restore the previous crosswalk at 12th Street, SE with a raised crosswalk.
DDOT also reports that better crosswalk and pedestrian signage will be placed, in addition to striping new bike lanes on both the north and south side of the park.
The contractor reports that the speed tables will be installed next week, and the striping will go in after that.
