The New York Avenue Bridge and Lincoln Connector Trail Project

The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) was awarded a $25 million federal grant to support the construction of a nearly two-mile multimodal path and the rehabilitation of the New York Avenue NE Bridge. The grant will help fund the $35 million project that will create a crucial east-west pedestrian and bicycle connection across the Anacostia River.

Great Streets Retail Small Business Grants

New York Avenue, South Dakota Avenue, Bladensburg Road, V Street, and the Shops at Dakota Crossing are designated Great Streets corridors. As funds become available, small businesses may apply for grants to cover capital improvements and certain soft costs. In fiscal year 2024, there was $2.55 million available with individual awards up to $85,000.
