The North Capitol Street Cloverleaf Feasibility Study, a collaboration of the DC Office of Planning (OP), District Department of Transportation (DDOT), and the National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC), was completed in 2009 to achieve the following broad goals:

• Explore alternative intersection configurations for the cloverleaf at Irving and North Capitol Streets to create a more urban, pedestrian oriented and transit supportive environment;
• Develop strategies to improve the gateway qualities of North Capitol Street by including accessible open spaces, civic spaces, memorials, and enhancing public streetscapes; and
• Develop recommendations for improving safety, connectivity and transportation options.
