Public Involvement and Outreach

Similar to the public involvement and outreach that occurred during project planning, DDOT will use several methods to disseminate information to stakeholders and the general public throughout design, advertisement, and construction of the project: Public Involvement Meetings, Steering Committee, Business Owner Survey, and Additional Outreach.

During construction, DDOT will also convey information regarding appropriate driving and travel behavior, detours, and accessibility options associated with the work zone.

Public Involvement Meetings

DDOT encourages you to participate in the design process and welcomes you to attend one of our public meetings. You can provide comments and feedback via a meeting comment card, the project website, email, or mail.

Steering Committee

The role of the steering committee is to represent a cross section of key stakeholders within the project area, and to communicate ideas, issues and concerns with the District Department of Transportation and the project team throughout the design phase of the project.

The goal of the steering committee will be to anticipate, communicate, and resolve issues related to project safety, sequence of improvements, and access during construction.  The Steering Committee meets periodically throughout the design process to review public outreach information and provide general feedback.

Additional Outreach

Project news will continue to be distributed through the end of construction. Check the website periodically for project/construction updates. The following resources will also be incorporated to keep the public informed on the latest project happenings:

• Mailings/emails to stakeholders and interested parties
• Newspapers, radio, and television announcements
• Message displays of construction activities and detours throughout project corridor
