Unprotected daylighting zone on the 700 block of O St NW -- no physical barrier keeps vehicles off the crosswalk

Location: 706 O St NW, Logan Circle/Shaw, Washington, DC 20001
Ward: 2
Documented: April 10, 2026
Category: needs_infra
Plate: DC JH 9717

Red Chevy Traverse parked right up against the crosswalk on the 700 block of O St NW. A fire hydrant and Capital Bikeshare station sit at the corner, but no bollard, curb extension, or daylighting marking keeps vehicles back from the crossing.

01What is wrong here

A red Chevy Traverse (DC plates JH 9717) is parked right up against the crosswalk on the 700 block of O St NW, inside the 40-foot intersection setback that 18 DCMR 2405.2(c) requires. A fire hydrant and a Capital Bikeshare station sit at the corner, but nothing -- no bollard, curb extension, or daylighting marking -- holds the sightline open. The fix here is physical: install bollards, a curb extension, or planters to keep the zone clear.
