Councilmember Allen swears in Julia Fiedler as ANC 6E04 Commissioner
When Julia Fiedler saw that a crosswalk was needed, she went to write her ANC Commissioner. Only, there wasn't one. But there is now! Yesterday, CM Allen swore her in as the new Commissioner for ANC 6E04 after a special election. She joins other great public leaders who volunteer to serve Ward 6.

Starting today, the 2nd St NW gates are open sunrise to sunset — with paths, an open field, and a playground ready to go.

"This resolution would cause significant uncertainty and chaos, but not for the federal government. The chaos would all be placed on D.C. It would change the rules in the middle of the game," says @alsobrooks.senate.gov. "It would [also] have a damaging effect on D.C.’s bond rating."

We spent the morning at the Potomac spill site, where elevated levels of E. coli, MRSA, and other bacteria pose a serious health concern for our region.
Your drinking water is safe.
Contact with the river water may not be right now.

Trash and recycling are still not back on schedule — and I know how frustrating that is.
I’ve been in direct contact with the Mayor, the City Administrator, and DPW to push for urgent fixes.
Now, ~ 80 seasonal leaf collection workers are being reassigned to full-time trash collection.

An intersection in DC with no massive ice mounds. Bonus, also, was the last stop on the old streetcar line was.
Thank you again for getting this resolved. Happy to report the intersection has been cleared!

Charles Allen speaks at a meeting in Southwest about the neighborhood's famers market.
Happy to be part of & help lead tonight's meeting on the future of the SW Farmers Market, which has grown to be a beloved part of the neighborhood. The abrupt closure of the lot at 4th and M is frustrating, but we will find a new home for the market as soon as possible.
