DC Office of Planning

Thanks to the folks who were able to make it to last night’s DC 2050 workshop at the MLK Library. We had many productive conversations and gathered a lot of feedback. If you weren’t able to make it to the workshop, we are holding a workshop this Saturday: lnkd.in/em6xDzv8

For over a decade, March Madness has helped us keep our promises to deliver housing, jobs, growth, and opportunity in our city. ‌ Join us today for my final March Madness:

@JHWeissmann For those who can't make it to the workshops, keep an eye out for an online survey that will be coming soon.

Hi — I realize you’re holding public meetings and forums, but not everyone has the opportunity to attend one, so I sincerely hope that’s not the only way you’re gauging feedback. These draft maps are an economic catastrophe for this city in the making. Improving them would take a ground up rethink.

I've just started comparing this map to the current one — which is a little tricky because they switched zoning designations. But so far, what I'm seeing looks like an absolute disaster and wasted opportunity.

@AlexCTaliadoros We encourage you to come to our in-person workshops this week to share your feedback. For those who can't make it, keep an eye out for an online survey that will be coming soon. 🗓️TODAY! March 18 (6-8 pm) or March 21 (11am-1 pm) 📍MLK Library RSVP: dc2050.dc.gov/pages/get-invo…

👋 DC housing policy Twitter 🏘️🏗️ The Office of Planning released their *draft* Future Land Use Map earlier today. 🗺️: dc2050.dc.gov/pages/draft-fu… The map will be a big part of the city's next Comprehensive Plan rewrite, "DC 2050." What are your thoughts?

@theycallmekg2 We encourage you to come to our in-person workshops this week to share your feedback. For those who can't make it, keep an eye out for an online survey that will be coming soon. 🗓️TODAY! March 18 (6-8 pm) or March 21 (11am - 1 pm) 📍MLK Library RSVP: dc2050.dc.gov/pages/get-invo…

@OPinDC Many of the changes are keeping people restrictive heightens limits in highly sought after areas like capital hill. Please do better

To keep housing prices from rising relative to inflation, OP estimates that DC needs capacity to support at least 460,000 households by 2050. Through DC 2050, we're planning to add capacity for an additional 15,000 households. Read more: dcgis.maps.arcgis.com/sharing/rest/c…

@theycallmekg2 Take a look at what we've proposed: dcgis.maps.arcgis.com/apps/instant/a… Many of the changes are centered around adding diverse housing options within walkable access metro stations and bus corridors.

@OPinDC You guys could literally just change the zoning around metro stations to be higher density

Workshop #1 for DC 2050 is tonight at the MLK Library! Stop by between 6 and 8 to learn about what we've been working on and share your thoughts. We will also have breakout discussions at 6:30 and 7:15 pm. We want to hear from you.

@mattgontarchick If you can't make it to the in-person workshops, don't worry. We'll have an online survey coming out soon for folks to provide input and share their thoughts.

@OPinDC Please consider more feedback sessions!

@JHWeissmann Hi @JHWeissmann , these are initial proposals to get public feedback. We're inviting input through public meetings this week and more forums to come over the next few months and will produce a revised future land use map based on what we've heard. dc2050.com

My take right now: I’m not voting for any mayoral candidate unless they vow to improve on this map, and get specific about how.

We're shaping the next 25 years of housing, jobs, and land use in DC right now. It's all part of the DC 2050 Comprehensive Plan, the roadmap for Washington, DC's future. Join the conversation and help shape our city's growth at an upcoming workshop: dc2050.dc.gov/pages/get-invo…
