In the past year, we have seen several key proposals of NCPCs Extending the Legacy Plan come to life. The Commissions decade-long vision to revitalize the South Capitol Street corridor a key gateway to the LEnfant City is now being advanced by a partnership among congressional leaders, NCPC, the U.S. Department of Transportation, and the District of Columbia government. The vast tangle of freeway ramps in front of the Kennedy Center is soon to be transformed into an exciting new civic space. A convenient and low-cost transit system proposed by NCPC will be unveiled when NCPC and its planning partners launch the first route of the Downtown Circulator in early 2005. These and other accomplishments described in the pages of this annual report were years in the making and we are proud that it was NCPCs visionary planning that first set many of them in motion. Watching them unfold motivates us to do more. We are currently embarking on several ambitious new initiatives for the coming year including a proposal to realign the rail lines that cut through Washington; plans to protect the regions open space and parks; and studies to develop transportation solutions that reduce traffic congestion and improve air quality. We have reconvened our Interagency Security Task Force to ensure that efforts continue throughout the region to develop well-designed permanent security solutions for federal buildings and landmarks. NCPC will not rest until Washington once again projects the image of an open and accessible city.
