Washington, D.C., recently launched the 2023 PaveDC campaign, an annual District Department of Transportation (DDOT) campaign to eliminate all roads in poor condition by 2024.
This year’s plan is to close out approximately 2,000 service requests and includes resurfacing 76 miles of roads, restoring 126 alleys and 65 miles of sidewalk, and improving roadway marking.
“DDOT is proud to be working hand-in-hand with Mayor (Muriel) Bowser on the PaveDC initiative as we work to eliminate all poor condition roadways, sidewalks, and alleys by 2024,” DDOT Director Everett Lott said. “Paving is not only about fixing potholes and resurfacing roads, it’s an opportunity to invest in District infrastructure and ensure our transportation system remains efficient and reliable.”
Residents can call 311 to submit a request for street paving.
In 2022, DDOT reached 88 percent of the PaveDC goal, putting it on course to reach the 2024 goal.
Bowser kicked off Back to Basics Week on Monday by highlighting investments residents will see this year, including alley cleaning, community clean-up campaigns, grass mowing, and street sweeping.
