(PAESAP) is a guide for the community, District government, housing providers, property owners, and advocacy organizations to implement the Comprehensive Plan’s policies for greater equity and resilience. Developed during the COVID-19 public health emergency, the PAESAP sets a community-informed vision in advance of future development within the neighborhood and in relation to broader local and metropolitan growth patterns.

The PAESAP includes public realm and urban design guidelines for Pennsylvania Avenue stakeholders to lead conversations around community development.

The PAESAP is framed around the following themes:

• Economic Development and Retail Opportunity
• Transportation Access and Connectivity
• Housing Opportunities and Affordability
• Vibrant Public Realm and Urban Design
