Support more housing in Cleveland Park & Woodley Park

Say yes to the Draft Connecticut Avenue Development Guidelines

We need your help to support more housing around two key Ward 3 Metro stations. With the Draft Connecticut Avenue Development Guidelines, the District is proposing to increase the potential for new homes by rezoning in the commercial areas around the Cleveland Park and Woodley Park Metro stations. DC is also providing guidelines for new buildings and the streetscape.

Weigh in and tell DC Office of Planning you support increasing housing opportunities around these two Ward 3 Metro stations. Send a message to DC Office of Planning telling them - yes! The proposed development guidelines will encourage needed new housing while fitting it into their historic districts.

I support the Draft Connecticut Avenue Development Guidelines

Dear [elected official],

Personalize your message

As a resident of DC, I believe we should provide more housing around Metro stations and transit corridors, especially in Ward 3. I support the draft development guidelines for the commercial areas around Cleveland Park and Woodley Park Metro stations which are intended to encourage needed new homes while providing design solutions to keep the areas compatible with their historic districts. Both neighborhoods, well-served by bus and rail, are ideal areas for increasing housing opportunities. Encouraging more housing around Metro and shops will also add vibrancy to these retail strips and help reduce households' carbon footprint.

DC Office of Planning is asking residents:

"Do the Draft Building Design Guidelines adequately balance the need for increased housing opportunities while ensuring that new development relates to the study area's neighborhood character?"

Yes, I do.

"Do the Draft Streetscape Design Guidelines adequately support the various public life activities along the corridor and offer improvements to the functionality of the sidewalk for all users (i.e. pedestrians, retail customers, Zoo visitors, etc.)?"

Yes, I do.

If anything, the guidelines could be improved by providing more housing opportunities in these high-amenity neighborhoods.

Thank you also for your consideration.

Sincerely, [Your information here]
