Anacostia Waterfront
Framework Plan
Washington DC
The Anacostia Waterfront Initiative envisions the river as the center of a vital and prospering city, rather than as an economic and cultural divide. The Framework Plan encompasses the entire length of the river and adjacent neighborhoods, and makes recommendations for the waterfront in five interrelated courses of action: transportation improvements, the creation of a great urban waterfront park system, environmental action, the potential sites for cultural and historical destinations, and revitalized neighborhoods along new trails, transit lines, and commercial growth corridors. The actualization of this vision will mean reinvestment and stewardship for a host of neighborhoods that border the Anacostia but have never had sufficient access to its unique assets.
