Anacostia Gateway Government Center
Washington, D.C.
The Anacostia Gateway Government Center (AGGC), located at the foot of the 11th Street Bridge, will be the new headquarters for the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) and a catalyst for revitalization of historic downtown Anacostia. The AGCC will consist of two buildings totaling 350,000 S.F. of office space, a day care center, and support retail space. 

Wells + Associates was retained by the District government to prepare a transportation impact study of the AGGC and downtown Anacostia streets.  The study:

Evaluated existing and future weekday AM and PM peak hour levels of service at nine off-site intersections
Estimated the number of weekday AM and PM peak hour trips that will be generated by the proposed AGGC
Evaluated the traffic impacts of converting Martin Luther King, Jr. (MLK) Avenue and 13th Street from one-way to two-way operation
Assessed AGGC parking and loading demands

Wells + Associates concluded that converting MLK Avenue from one-way to two-way operation, and improving Good Hope Road west of MLK Avenue, would mitigate projected AGGC traffic impacts.  A 25 percent parking reduction was justified based on: the proximity of the site to the new light rail starter line; superior Metrobus service; and DDOT’s commitment to smart commuting habits, as identified in the Transportation Demand Management Plan (TDMP).

The AGGC was unanimously approved by the District of Columbia Zoning Commission.
