Rebuilding Project
The city government began a rebuilding project of Constitution Avenue between 15th and 23rd Streets, N.W., in April 2011. The $10.3 million project included replacement of the underlying concrete slabs, and the asphalt surface over it. Curbs, crosswalks, lights, and sidewalks were also replaced.

Famous quotes containing the words rebuilding and/or project:
“But look what we have built ... low-income projects that become worse centers of delinquency, vandalism and general social hopelessness than the slums they were supposed to replace.... Cultural centers that are unable to support a good bookstore. Civic centers that are avoided by everyone but bums.... Promenades that go from no place to nowhere and have no promenaders. Expressways that eviscerate great cities. This is not the rebuilding of cities. This is the sacking of cities.”
—Jane Jacobs (b. 1916)
“The trenchant editorials plus the keen rivalry natural to extremely partisan papers made it necessary for the editors to be expert pugilists and duelists as well as journalists. An editor made no assertion that he could not defend with fists or firearms.”
—Federal Writers’ Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
