Last week, David Alpert put together a nice Google map interface showing off DDOT’s Transportation Improvement Plan.   Of particular interest to me is the new traffic circle/square/oval/rhombus at the intersection of Pennsylvania, Potomac, and 14th St SE.  I’ve delved into the plans for the intersection previously (here and here).

The takeaway is that $1.45 million are allocated for the project in the upcoming Fiscal Year 2010, in addition to $200,000 allocated for the current fiscal year – money that likely paid for the initial studies referenced in the previous posts.

Now, if someone at DDOT can convince WMATA to add a nice canopy to the station, maybe the escalators won’t be out of service so often…
