"District officials want to transform the Anacostia River from the city's major dividing line into one of its primary gathering places by creating parks, neighborhoods and cultural amenities along the river's vastly underutilized banks.New attractions would be linked to each other and to existing neighborhoods by a 16-mile river walk that has just been started and by a network of new boulevards, parkways and bridges that would replace much of the cumbersome highway sprawl that dominates the area."
