---------

DDOT is holding a meeting tonight, Thursday, March 22nd at 6:30pm - 8pm, at 801 Shepherd St NW, to discuss the upcoming changes to Webster and Varnum Streets NW.

The proposed changes are a result of lobbying by residents who are unhappy with the current traffic flow, which they allege has led to auto collisions (lots of sideswipes) and other issues. Emily Dalphy, the traffic planner from DDOT, will be on-hand to lead the discussion and answer questions.

The main focus of the changes are to convert the 100 block of Webster Street NW to one‐way westbound, and convert the 100, 200, and 300 blocks of Varnum Street NW to one‐way eastbound.

Convert the 100 block of Webster Street NW to two‐way to serve westbound travel through the neighborhood but retain circulation for the on‐street parking on the unit block of Rock Creek Church Road NW
Restrict the eastbound movement of Webster Street NW to right‐turn only to retain circulation for the on‐street parking on the unit block of Rock Creek Church Road NW
Convert the 100, 200, and 300 blocks of Varnum Street NW to one‐way eastbound; and
Remove approximately one parking space on the unit block and two parking spaces on the
100 block of Rock Creek Church Road NW to mitigate the sight distance concerns for the left‐turn from Varnum Street NW
Convert the 100 block of Webster Street NW to one‐way westbound, and convert the 100, 200, and 300 blocks of Varnum Street NW to one‐way eastbound
