“The DC Office of Planning is developing plans to make Downtown’s public realm safer, more welcoming, and more enjoyable. The agency welcomes input into the future of Downtown’s streets, sidewalks, plazas, and parks. Which places inspire you and which underwhelm? Fill out a survey here to assist this project and improve Downtown for all.”
