The plan for the Hill East waterfront envisions transforming Reservation 13 from an isolated campus to a mixed-use waterfront neighborhood. By extending neighborhood-scaled streets, the site can accommodate diverse uses including health care, civic, residential, educational, recreational, community and other public uses along with unrestricted access to the Anacostia waterfront. The most notable elements of the plan propose extending Massachusetts Avenue to the Anacostia River, creating a village square at the Stadium-Armory Metro station and introducing a vast new park, The Meadows, at the Anacostia waterfront.
The Hill East/ Reservation 13 Master Plan resulted from the input and cooperation of many different stakeholders – including over 300 neighborhood residents and people from across the city who participated in a series of public meetings and a three-day, intensive community-planning workshop. The Office of Planning also coordinated the involvement of other District agencies such as the Department of Health, the Department of Corrections, the Sports and Entertainment Commission, and the Congressional Cemetery. The Hill East Reservation 13 Master Plan was approved by the District of Columbia City Council on October 15, 2002. |
