The University recognizes the positive impact that open spaces, pedestrian pathways, and streetscape provide as a counterbalance to the surrounding built urban environment for those who study, work, and live in Foggy Bottom. Accordingly, the Campus Plan proposes to improve pedestrian connectivity through the campus, enhance open spaces, and promote the use of sustainable streetscape elements.
An implementation plan and standards regarding various streetscape components (including landscaping, street signage, lighting, and street furniture) are addressed in the draft Foggy Bottom Streetscape Plan. The proposed Foggy Bottom Streetscape Plan, developed in coordination with the DC Office of Planning (DCOP) and representatives from the DC Department of Transportation (DDOT), is included as an exhibit to the 2007 Foggy Bottom Campus Plan.
An open community meeting to discuss the draft plan was held for all interested parties on August 30, 2006. Since then the Streetscape Plan has been refined and developed through continued collaboration between representatives of the University, DCOP, and DDOT, and with the participation and input of interested stakeholders.
An additional community meeting was held May 6, 2009 where representatives of GW and EE&K Architects provided an overview of proposed streetscape design elements and gather feedback from members of the community in attendance. Click here to review meeting presentation

 Ultimately, it is intended for the Streetscape Plan to serve as a comprehensive planning resource to complement the development plan set forth in the 2007 Foggy Bottom Campus Plan as well as the proposed Foggy Bottom Campus Historic Preservation Plan.
