Initiated by the Crystal CIty BID, this Feasibity Study was the frst step to
bring a working group together to determine the possible alignment
alternatives to create a pedestrian connection between Crystal CIty and
DCA. This high level study highlights the potential challenges, benefts and
next steps as this endevor moves forward. KGP was the Bridge Architect
on the VHB team responsible for developing potential allignemnts based
on the considerable variations traversing NPS and CSX zones of ownership
and use and the unique conditions on the JBG and DCA terminus sites.
Alignment locations and profles ranging from tunnel to bridge to hybrid
variations were developed in response to range of contextual parameters.
