    The document discusses the potential reuse of the 11th Street Bridge in Washington D.C. as a recreation destination connecting river trails and amenities between Wards 6 and 8. It proposes a design competition to generate ideas for activating the bridge with activities like environmental education and family fitness. Concept illustrations show the bridge connecting to new local roads and potentially hosting a streetcar, while also linking high-amenity parklands on both sides of the river. The goal is for the bridge to serve as a hub for connected, family-focused recreation along the Anacostia River waterfront.
