The District of Columbia Department of Transportation hosted a meeting on April 8, 2010 to inform the public about the final designs for The Sherman Avenue Corridor. The stretch of improvements will include Sherman Ave. between Park Road and Florida Avenue. The project will make the Corridor look and feel more residential, as well as making the area more appealing. The final plans include planting many trees and shrubs along the corridor, upgrading street lights and traffic signals. Designs also show the Corridor will be more pedestrian friendly by widening the sidewalks, updating the wheelchair ramps, and re-painting the cross-walk lines.

This will be a great improvement for the community and future developments that will come to the neighborhood. Among the community are the current residents at 907 Euclid, which is a recently converted condominium right off Sherman Avenue, that was completed by The Neighborhood Development Company (NDC). The construction is slated to be complete by December ’11. Track the progress of the project at DDOT’s website at http://ddot.dc.gov/ or on the UrbanLand Company blog!
