The city is planning to make safety and accessibility improvements along the west side of Potomac Street, between 6th Avenue and 14th Place.
A project is currently being planned to underground the overhead electric lines, construct a sidewalk and install street lights along the west side of Potomac Street. This project is in response to citizen requests for pedestrian accommodations along the west side of Potomac Street. These improvements will provide an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessible route where sidewalk currently does not exist, improving the neighborhood’s transportation facilities.
