Public Meeting: Streetscape Design Guidelines: Small-Scale Elements

The public is invited to an online meeting to learn about and comment on the proposed Monumental Core Streetscape Design Guidelines: Small-Scale Elements. These guidelines inform the placement and characteristics of streetscape furnishings and civic infrastructure including benches, waste receptacles, bicycle racks, and utility boxes, among others in downtown Washington, DC’s monumental core, including in and around the National Mall.

The National Capital Planning Commission, together with the federal and District agencies responsible for these streetscapes, drafted these guidelines to provide a coordinated approach to ensure the area’s beauty and functionality. The proposed Small-Scale Streetscape Elements are part of a larger initiative to update the 1992 National Mall Streetscape Manual.

This meeting will be conducted online using Zoom. You will need to RSVP and include your email address. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about how to join the meeting. You may use the Zoom invitation to join online or by phone.
