May 10th, Sean stated that prior to restoring the bus stop DDOT is working to make the area compliant
with the requirements of the federal Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Essentially, this requires the
installation of a clear 5-foot by 8-foot landing pad at the stop. We are working with our sidewalk
improvement team to get this scheduled inserted into the work plan as soon as possible. Once the landing
pad is installed, we can restore the bus stop. Please let me know if there is any additional information I

DC Waters First Street Tunnel Forum Meetings PowerPoint presentation from Thursday, May 26th
may be viewed @ FST web page: http://dcwater.com/workzones/projects/first_street_tunnel/. Major
points: (1) SKJD is behind schedule and instead of finishing in Spring 2016; it will be Summer 2016 (Detailed revised schedule-Slide 19); (2) Thomas Street will open first (June), V Street & Flagler and
Adams (July) - The Bryant Street APA will remain open for tag holders to park their vehicles. (3) SKJD
will need to keep First Street from Channing to Michigan closed through June and maybe July; however
after that DC Water/SKJD will no longer need to keep that section of First Street closed. (4) Tree
Planting Initiative-DC Water, community members and DDOT arborist have worked together on
finalizing the exact location and species of the 35 trees. Discussion ensued about when planting should be
done; Tunnel Forum and public attending strongly urged DC Water to plant in the fall. (5) Some residents
want a traffic circle at the intersection of First & V Streets. A DDOT rep ( Leon F. Anderson) was at the
meeting and spoke about the DDOT process for evaluating the feasibility of a traffic circle. Ms. Ray and
others spoke to him in the hallway after his public remarks. (6) This PowerPoint and new construction
