The "New" New Hampshire Avenue
The Trachtenberg Office joined a group of representatives from Takoma Park and State, County and local officials to tour the area related to the New Hampshire Avenue Corridor Concept Plan. The plan proposes:
Rebuilding New Hampshire Avenue as a multi-use boulevard with pedestrian and bike friendly design;
Mixed-use redevelopment of commercial properties and infill development on some institutional and multi-family properties;
Improved access to transportation;
Consolidate pedestrian commercial activity around Sheridan Street and the stoplight south of Ethan Allan Avenue, and other "squared" intersections;
A family style pub at Sligo Creek Parkway;
Restore natural areas, improve parks, and use the New Ave to slow and filter rain events before the water washes debris into the creek
