City projects are tracked on a database and mapped. (Via DPMED.)
Neighbors who need to know when nearby construction on a city managed project will end, or who to blame when they are months behind schedule, have a new tool at their disposal.
The Office of the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development has put up a publicly accessible database of their portfolio of projects across D.C., including each one’s status, manager, and a projected time frame for completion. It falls in line with the Muriel Bowser administration’s pledge to make government data more accessible through technology.
So you can easily see, for example, that the enormous Capitol Crossing project, which will create several new city blocks atop I-395, is under construction and won’t be done until the end of 2019, along with exactly how huge it will be.
