Enhancement & Maintenance

Numerous communities raised the equitable distribution of capital dollars and maintenance as a key issue. There is a concern that certain parts of the District are not given the same focus, particularly when it comes to regular upkeep and maintenance of facilities. DC could lead the way in adopting efficient and effective procedures and policies to track and plan for future maintenance needs and develop a framework for how to equitable invest its future capital funds.

The Enhancement & Maintenance priority area will focus on equitably investing in capital improvement projects at sites facing the greatest need and ensuring regular upkeep and repair of our parks and facilities across every neighborhood.

Examples of potential actions of this priority area are:

• Perform regular preventative maintenance planning
• Develop criteria to equitably determine where new capital dollars will be invested that considers the history of racism, redlining, and lack of investment in certain communities
• Address pressing repair issues in timely manner
• Compile historical information on investment across all sites
• Work to create maintenance efficiencies across multiple agencies and federal partners

More content will be added to this page as we continue with the planning process. Please share any initial ideas you have on this priority using the tool below.
