Project: District Department of Transportation (DDOT), Design Services for K Street Transitway
Location: Washington, DC
Client: DDOT
Kimley-Horn of DC was part of a team developing plans for the final design of the K Street Transitway, which features a two-way dedicated transitway running in the center of K Street NW from 12th Street NW to 21st Street NW. This project built upon work completed by the Kimley-Horn of DC team under a previous traffic analysis task that included plans, specifications, and estimates (PS&E); microsimulation analysis; and traffic forecasting. The new design eliminates service lanes along K Street NW and with a center running protected cycle track adjacent to the median to protect the busway. The new medians will feature bus stops, lighting, landscaping, trees, and pedestrian amenities. The eight bus stops will be 130 feet in length, include near-level boarding, and feature three bus stop shelters along with art features.
