#LifeInMVT Photo of the Week: New Crosswalk Comes to 2nd & H Streets NW!

Friday July 3, 2026

Whaddaya say we “cross” another item off the To-Do list? After years of advocacy, we’re thrilled to share an early image (thanks to eagle-eye resident Karen Walker!) of the crosswalk striping going in at the corner of 2nd & H Streets NW. Once installation is complete, this crosswalk and automatic Hawk Signal will go a long way in ensuring pedestrians passing north and south along 2nd Street or headed to the northwest entrance of Cobb Park have access to a direct and safe route.

This is a huge win for the MVT CID community and we thank Councilmember Charles Allen and our partners at the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) for working tirelessly to bring this necessary safety enhancement to Mount Vernon Triangle.
