11th Street Bridge Park Equitable Development PlanDownload


A key goal of the 11th Street Bridge Park is to serve as an anchor for equitable and inclusive economic growth. The Bridge Park’s design strategies will increase connectivity between those living on both sides of the Anacostia River, but more must be done to ensure that residents and small businesses nearby will continually benefit from the success of this signature new civic space. Partnering with a number of local non-profits, the Bridge Park is now implementing these equitable development strategies with over $56 million of direct investments going into the community; these dollars nearly match the capital costs of building the Bridge Park. This work has become a model across the country inspiring similar equity plans in St. Louis, Dallas and Los Angeles.
