Arboretum Bridge & Trail
The Arboretum Bridge and Trail is a planned connection between the National Arboretum and the Anacostia River Trail in the Deanwood neighborhood. It's an incredible opportunity to create a new connection for residents to get across the Anacostia River and to provide access to some of the District’s most unique outdoor gems: Anacostia Park and the U.S. National Arboretum.
Currently in the planning stages, the project received a federal RAISE grant in 2023. Construction is projected to start in 2025 and be complete by 2027.

Advocacy
WABA fights for a region where biking, walking and transit are the best ways to get around.
We educate policymakers and organize grassroots advocates for to speak up for safer places to bike and walk; and for laws and policies that protect people who are walking and biking, reduce dangerous driving, and facilitate changes to the built environment.
Trails
Trails are the best. They are low-stress bike infrastructure, access to nature, parks, landmarks, and community gathering spaces all rolled into one.
WABA's trail advocacy is focused on connecting gaps in our region's trail network; ensuring existing trails are maintained and upgraded to meet current design standards; and expanding the network into underserved parts of the region.
