Capitol Riverfront and Southwest DC have been the among the fastest growing neighborhoods in the DC area over the past five years. They will continue to experience rapid growth over the next 10 years, adding nearly 25,000 more residents, 500,000 square feet of additional retail, and up to 2.5 million square feet of additional office space. This growth means tens of thousands additional residents, workers, and visitors moving into, out of, and through the neighborhoods every day.
With those needs in mind, Capitol Riverfront BID, Southwest BID, their stakeholders, and partners are taking on a variety of mobility initiatives focusing on mass transit, micromobility (bicycles, scooters, and other small, low-speed personal vehicles), an improved pedestrian environment, shared parking strategies, and more. This survey seeks public input about the experience in the neighborhoods as they currently exist and user preferences for the future of mobility in Capitol Riverfront and Southwest DC.
