Public Involvement The 14th Street NW Corridor Transportation Study will rely heavily on public participation. The public involvement process will include residents, ANCs and other stakeholders in and around the study area, and will help the Study Team document the community's concerns and recommendations. In addition, the public will have an opportunity to review and comment upon all Study findings and recommendations, thus playing a crucial role in the decision making process.To fully engage residents, elected leaders, community leaders, art community, business groups, retail operators, and other 14th Street NW stakeholders, the Study will include public involvement venues such as meetings, design charrette (please see the details under Public Meetings and Schedule). Each event will be announced and advertised in advance using meeting notices, pamphlets, and other reasonable mechanisms to communicate project information and obtain community comment. In addition, this study web site will post the schedule, all public meeting minutes, fact sheets, and study updates and progress reports. There will be four public meetings. The first will outline the project, discuss existing conditions, and develop a shared vision of the future of the corridor. The second public meeting will focus on potential options in transportation and streetscape design, both short- and long-term, to achieve the shared vision of the corridor. The participants will be engaged to express their preferences for a variety of options. The third public meeting will discuss draft findings and recommendations, while the fourth public meeting will present the final report of the study, including final recommendations.

1st Public Meeting (June 20th, 2007) Click links below to download files from the Public Meeting:
More than fifty people gathered together in the recently renovated Source (formerly Source Theater) on June 20, 2007, not for a show but for a public meeting to share their visions for the 14th Street corridor. After presentation of existing conditions and concepts, the meeting attendees were asked to provide three vision priorities and three challenges for the corridor. The results show that top three vision priorities are arts/entertainment, retail, and bike/pedestrian orientation.
