This is very frustrating and the wrong outcome. I’ve enjoyed coffee with many neighbors here including in colder months. We should further reduce the fee below $15 per square foot so that business is like this can continue operating streateries.

Checked out the @ddotdc.bsky.social Bus Priority open house for Columbia and Harvard Roads last night. The buses on these corridors come right down to our district on Connecticut. Option 2 seems like the best — it will make using these routes much faster when coming to or from 2B01!

I'm looking forward to the ANC 2B special meetings on September 3rd from 6-8pm, where we'll have the opportunity to vote on a resolution condemning the dangerous and unwarranted use of the military and secret police on our streets.

I was thrilled to see DDOT came out and fixed up the broken sidewalk on the 1700 block of 19th Street, by the Sedgwick. This got resolved l only a couple of weeks after I put in a 311 for it! Before/after:

Earlier this month, I went for a walk around the district and made some 311s. So far, DDOT has fixed the flexpost and pruned the greenery that blocked this sidewalk. I’m tracking this publicly at anc2b01.org/actions.html

The CT Ave deckover project is going to be transformative. I'm glad construction is underway, and I'll be a resource to help make sure negative impacts of construction (especially to businesses on CT and residents along traffic detours) are mitigated. www.washingtonian.com/2025/06/23/w...
