Mission

Our public spaces – including roads, sidewalks, transit stations, parks, and plazas – are crucial not only to our everyday lives, but also to our community’s sense of self. The Transportation, Parks, & Public Spaces Committee intends to bring community members in Columbia Heights together to ensure that these spaces serve everyone who lives in, works in, and moves through Columbia Heights, no matter where we live or how we get around.

Our north star in this effort is Vision Zero, the idea that the number of acceptable traffic deaths is zero. We will not accept any deaths on the streets of Columbia Heights and will fight to design our streets in a way that achieves this vision. Every month, we will address issues surrounding accessibility to, the quality of, and safety within our public spaces. We hope to achieve this by receiving input from residents of every corner of Columbia Heights and working together.

1. Periodic updates on DC transportation policy news
