1321.1 Future improvements to the District's infrastructure should be planned in a collaborative, integrated manner that can identify and maximize shared benefits, rather than be siloed by specific systems or agency. Examples of success, such as the DC Water Biosolids Management Program which converts byproducts of wastewater processing into energy to power the Blue Plains WTP, can become more commonplace in the District. Investments in infrastructure will require the collaboration of businesses, government, schools, community groups, and residents. Through this collaboration, and with the application of new technology, the best investments to infrastructure can be made.

1321.2 District government should also consider the importance of distributed networks, such as gas stations, in future planning efforts. The network created by standalone gas stations provides a significant energy supply to District residents, workers, and visitors. The locations of gas stations in Washington, DC are shown in Map 13.6. Future plans should consider the importance of such networks, especially in the context of emerging technologies and cross-system integrations.

1321.4 Policy IN-6.3.1: Infrastructure Collaboration Encourage collaboration, cooperation, and shared opportunity across Comprehensive Plan

infrastructure projects, so that a range of perspectives and stakeholders participate in the identification of potential investments. Use technology to identify synergies, ensuring an efficient use of District infrastructure, investment, and resources.

1321.5 Policy IN-6.3.2: Coordination of Infrastructure Installation

Encourage enhanced coordination among relevant agencies and utilities when siting new or modernizing existing infrastructure, such as water lines and gas pipelines, telecommunications conduit, and streetscape improvements, in order to minimize duplicative efforts, such as digging, and to identify opportunities for cost and time savings.

1321.6 Action IN-6.3.A: Coordination of Infrastructure Upgrades

Continue to update a central repository for data and schedules for planned infrastructure upgrades to minimize the need for repeated street and sidewalk excavation.

1321.7 Action IN-6.3.B: Fueling Stations Shared Uses

Explore the potential for shared uses and reuses of fueling stations in the context of rapidly evolving and emerging technologies. This assessment should focus on possible cross-system uses for the facilities.
