Trail overview and concepT areas

The following section describes the detailed improvement recommendations
and design considerations for locations along the trail. Based on the varying
nature of the corridor and implementation considerations, this information is
organized into the following project concept areas :

CONCEPT AREA A: DC Village, Laboratory Rd, and Overlook Ave

CONCEPT AREA B: Defense Blvd , Overlook Ave, and South Capitol St
CONCEPT AREA C: South Capitol St, MacDill Blvd/Malcolm X Ave
CONCEPT AREA D: South Capitol St, Firth Sterling Ave, and Defense Blvd

pinch poinTs overview

In general terms, the preferred dimensions for a trail adjacent to a roadway
are a 10-foot trail, with a 5-foot separation and 2-foot buffer. Trail separation is
defined as the distance from the edge of a roadway towards the trail, and a trail
buffer is the distance from the edge of a trail towards an outside obstruction.
Additional separation and buffer distances are recommended where feasible. As
previously mentioned, in some locations trail widths and buffers will have to be
reduced to navigate pinch points.
The pinch points are located in the following concept areas and illustrated on
the graphics on the following pages:

overview
Concept Area A includes DC Village and segments of the trail along Overlook
Ave from Laboratory Road to south of Magazine Road/ Chesapeake Street.
concepT area a

Along Overlook Avenue segment, I-295 runs parallel along the eastern boundary
and the Blue Plains DC Water and Sewer Authority (DCWASA) facility, Bolling
Air Force Base, and Anacostia Naval Station are situated along the western
boundary. Overlook Avenue extends north to Magazine Drive and eventually to
Malcolm X Avenue, where it connects to South Capitol Street. A plan of Concept
Area A is provided in the following pages.
Pinch point 1 is located within Concept Plan Area A

The DC Village area is located east of I-295 and is bounded on the north by the
Bellevue residential neighborhood and on the south by Oxon Cove and NPS
parklands. DC Village is an area slated for redevelopment and currently the
existing street and sidewalk networks are in extreme disrepair and are noncontiguous. An existing asphalt trail at the eastern terminus of DC Village Lane
leads to a bridge over Oxon Run and the NPS trail along the south side of Oxon
Cove.

Pinch Point 1 Approximately 400-feet north of Overlook Avenue and Laboratory

Road/ I-295 northbound off-ramp to Shepherd Parkway a 7-foot wide pinch point
is created for 400-feet by bus stops on either side of the road, and the military
base wall adjacent to the roadway. Within this area there is also a driveway
entrance approximately 150-feet north of the intersection. At this location there
currently is a 4-foot sidewalk which would be replaced with the proposed trail.
In order to avoid this pinch point, it is recommended that the trail extend north
along the east side of Overlook Avenue to a mid-block crossing north of the
intersection. The proposed alignment would provide a 10-foot-wide trail in this
pinch point area. (A graphic of pinch point 1 is provided in the following pages,
as well as an excerpt from the traffic study.) Alternative A is recommended.

In general, there is very limited existing information about the DC Village area,
which is owned by the District of Columbia. The future development of DC
Village as defined by the DC Village Master Plan indicates a rework of road and
pedestrian pathways. Progress with the redevelopment project is still ongoing
at the time of this report, and the future trail alignment within this segment
will be refined once the redevelopment proceeds further. Excerpts of the DC
Village Master Plan are provided in Chapter 2 of this plan.
The preliminary trail alignment within this segment consists of a 10-foot
sidepath extending from the existing connection to DC Village Lane, along
DC Village Lane and Blue Plains Drive to Shepherd Parkway. The trail extends
along Shepherd Parkway north to the intersection of Laboratory Road, where it
connects to Overlook Avenue.

Pinch Point #1 (Overlook Avenue & Laboratory Road)

Pinch point 1 is at the intersection of Overlook Avenue and Laboratory Road. Alternative A at this
location proposes to retain the existing configuration. Alternative B at this location includes
eliminating one (1) northbound through lane, and changing it to one through lane with shared left and
right turns; and reducing the width of southbound through lane with shared right turn from 12 to 11.
The lane configuration for the proposed alternative is illustrated in Figure 4. Intersection capacity
analysis was performed for the proposed alternative, using the HCM methodology. The results of the
alternative analysis for both AM and PM peak hours are summarized in Table 12.

Pinch Point #2 (Overlook Avenue & Defense Boulevard)
The next identified pinch point is the intersection of Overlook Avenue and Defense Boulevard.
Proposed measures for Alternative A at this intersection includes eliminating one (1) southbound
through lane, and reducing the storage length for southbound right-turn lane at the intersection of
Overlook Avenue and Magazine Road. The lane configuration for the proposed alternative is
illustrated in Figure 5. Intersection capacity analysis was performed for the proposed alternative,
using the HCM methodology. The results of the capacity analysis for this alternative indicate that the
intersection of Overlook Avenue and Defense Boulevard will continue to operate at a Level of Service
B for both AM and PM peak hours with a slightly increased delay of 15.4 sec/veh and 17.1 sec/veh
during AM and PM peak hours, respectively. Alternative B consists of retaining the existing

overview
Concept Plan Area B includes trail segments along Overlook Avenue from south
of Defense Boulevard to north of Overlook Avenue / South Capitol Street split.

concepT area B

Along the South Capitol Street and Overlook Avenue segment, I-295 runs
parallel along the eastern boundary and Bolling Air Force Base, and Anacostia
Naval Station are situated along the western boundary. Overlook Avenue
extends north, where the roadway merges with South Capitol Street, which is
a major thoroughfare extending through the southeast quadrant of the District
of Columbia from the U.S. Capitol to the District/ Maryland State line. This
route connects the eastern shore of the Anacostia River to the rest of the city.
Along the Overlook Avenue/ South Capitol Street corridor, the trail is proposed
along the western side of the roadway corridor beyond the Laboratory Road
intersection, and eventually continues north to the Malcolm X Ave. intersection.
Along the trail corridor, the trail is bordered by the roadway section, and
several security walls along the military base property which creates a series of
pinch-points for the trail. Additional constraints at each location may include
utilities, drainage structures, traffic control devices and signage, environmental
constraints and right-of-way/property limits.
As previously mentioned, the minimum desirable width for the proposed trail is
10-feet, with a 2-foot buffer and 5-foot separation from an adjacent roadway. In
constrained areas throughout the trail corridor, 8-feet is recommended for the
trail, with a 1-foot buffer and 1-foot separation. An absolute minimum width
for limited trail segments is a 6-foot width with no buffer or separation. Where
feasible, additional separation and buffer distances are highly recommended.

Pinch Point 2 Approximately 200 feet North of Magazine Road/Chesapeake

St. intersection and south of Overlook Ave/Defense Boulevard (S) intersection.
This 200-foot stretch of 9-foot wide pinch point area is created as a result
of the minimal space between the military base walls and the roadway. The
proposed measures to extend the trail through this pinch point is to reduce the
Overlook Ave travelway to two 11-foot travel lanes with a 10-foot trail, 8-foot
separation, and 3-foot buffer. (Traffic study alternative A is recommended).
These improvements would provide an approximately 21-foot wide area for
the trail segment. An alternative and absolute minimum consideration at this
location would be to retain the three 11-foot lanes with a 6-foot trail, 4-foot
separation, and a 2-foot buffer.
(A graphic of pinch point 2 is provided in the following pages)

Pinch Point 3.1 extends for 800 feet from the Overlook Ave/ Defense Boulevard
(S) intersection north
300 feet where the
military base walls and
roadway pinch to 12
feet. Within this pinchpoint it is proposed that
Overlook Avenue be
reduced to two 11-foot
lanes with a 10-foot trail,
10-foot separation, and
a 3-foot buffer. (Traffic

recommended).
The
improvements would provide 23 feet for the trail, separation and potential
stormwater management measures.
(A graphic of pinch point 3.1 is provided in the following pages).
Pinch Point 3.2 extends for 1,400 feet from 300 feet north of the Overlook
Ave/ Defense Boulevard (S) intersection to the Overlook Ave/I-295 gore point.
Within this pinch point Overlook Ave is proposed to be reduced to a single
18-foot wide travel lane
with a 10-foot trail, 5-foot
separation, and 2-foot buffer.
(Traffic study alternative A
is recommended). These
improvements would provide
a 17-foot wide segment for
the trail and buffers.

Pinch Point 3 From Overlook Ave/ Defense Boulevard (S) intersection, north
to Overlook Ave/South Capitol Street diverge gore. This pinch point is separated
into three segments, pinch points 3.1 through 3.3.

Pinch Point 3.3 extends for 1,300 feet from the Overlook Ave/I-295 gore point
to the Overlook Ave/South Capitol Street gore point. Currently a 12-foot wide
pinch point is created by the military base wall, signs, utilities, and light poles
adjacent to the travelway. This pinch point is proposed for Overlook Ave to
be reduced by to a single 18-foot wide travel lane with a 10-foot trail, 5-foot
separation, and 2-foot buffer. (Traffic study alternative A is recommended).
These improvements would ultimately provide a 17-foot wide segment for the
trail and buffers.

Concept Area B is illustrated in the following pages.

Also provided are excerpts from the traffic study. Traffic comparisons are based
on existing volumes. Analysis with future volumes are provided in Appendicies
A & B, and show no appreciable difference to existing results.

signage and light poles. Proposed measures at this pinch point are to create
17 feet of available space
through the reduction of
South Capitol Street to
two travel lanes with a 10foot trail, 5-foot separation
and 2-foot buffer. (Traffic
study alternative A is
recommended).

Pinch Point #5 (South Capitol Street & MacDill Blvd./Malcolm X Ave. south of intersection)
The next identified pinch point is the segment to the south of South Capitol Street and MacDill
Boulevard/Malcolm X Avenue intersection (approximately 750 ft). This location is constrained due to
the combination of the bus stop located at the southwestern quadrant of the intersection (southbound far side), and limited right-of-way along the segment. South Capitol Street southbound ramp lane is
22 ft wide and is shared with the bus stop. Alternative A at this pinch point includes reducing the
existing ramp lane width from 22 ft to 18 ft and providing an 8-ft trail alignment with a 2-ft buffer,
and 4-ft separation/bus stop area. Reducing the ramp lane width from 22 ft to 18 ft would not change
the capacity of the ramp; therefore, no further analysis was performed for this alternative. Alternative
B includes retaining the existing lane configuration and providing an 8-ft trail alignment with limited
separation/buffer zone by delineating the lane where the bus stop is located, and, therefore, no further
analysis was performed for this alternative.
WMATA bus routes A9, W13, W14, P17, P18, and p19 run along South Capitol Street within the
study area and they make scheduled stops at the subject bus stop. Bus route A9 runs with 10/15minute headways during AM commuter hours and approximately 20/30-minute headways during PM
commuter hours. The bus routes W13 and W14 run with 60-minute headways during both AM and
PM commuter hours. Under either alternative scenario, the bus stop will be shared with the vehicular
travel lane. Although not quantifiable with traditional analysis methodologies, there could be minimal
interference expected under Alternative A, while the buses intermediately stop for loading and
unloading passengers with a minimal dwelling time (i.e., 60 sec or less) at the bus stop.
