Published May 22, 2024

For the last ten years, Scott Kratz has been working with the Washington, DC-based non-profit Building Bridges Across the River and the City to transform an old freeway bridge into a stunning new park and civic space supporting active recreation, environmental education, and the arts. The old 11th Street Bridges that connect Capitol Hill with communities east of the Anacostia River reached the end of their lifespan. In this webinar, Scott tells the extraordinary story of reimagining a bridge as a centerpiece for equitable and transformative change in DC’s historic Black community. The 11th Street Bridge is more than a park or transportation project; it’s a commitment to ensure long-term residents can stay and thrive in place through a nationally recognized equitable development plan that includes affordable housing, workforce training, preservation of Black-owned small businesses, and arts/culture strategies.

Speaker: Scott Kratz, Vice President, Building Bridges Across the River Senior  & 11th Street Bridge Park Director
