Rendering of Dave Thomas Circle. image from DDOT project presentation. Last week the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) released the latest renderings for the redesign project at the intersection of Florida and New York avenues NE, known by many as “Dave Thomas Circle” thanks to an inconveniently placed former Wendy’s. The area is infamous in DC for its challenging traffic pattern and lack of bike lanes, and has been on many “worst intersections” lists. The redesign is an attempt to restore two-way traffic on Florida Avenue NE; realign and add two-way traffic to First Street NE; add protected bicycle lanes; and create three new public park spaces, according to DDOT.
