Good morning
- According to DDOT, the Anacostia Riverwalk Trail lights that have been non-operational since opening due to a theft of the wiring are now working. They replaced all the stolen cable, installed 5 new poles, and removed and replaced a damaged foundation. The exception is that there are two lateral conduits that were found to be blocked and will require some coordination with utilities. Hooray.
- DDOT has scheduled a public meeting on its Innovative Bicycle Facility Research Project and on a proposed protected bike lane for L Street between 25th and 12th streets. The meeting is from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. next Thursday at the Reeves Center, second floor community room, 2000 14th St. NW.
