We periodically share updates from your ANC commissioners, edited for brevity and clarity. Although these are most pertinent to particular single member districts (SMDs), we feel the information shared can be of interest to the whole Capitol Hill community. Are you an ANC commissioner who shares regular updates? Add thehillishome@gmail.com to your distribution list, please! –María Helena Carey and Kate McFadden

Meetings of ANC 6B
I detailed my rationale and votes for ANC 6B’s committee votes this month
Resident-Only Parking Feelings?
I want to call out a section from committee votes linked above on new rulemaking above regarding designating one side of blocks for Residential Parking Permit only. How do you feel about this? Please let me know. After this rulemaking is finalized, I will more formally seek out opinions of constituents. And before any request is formally made, I will seek to have a community meeting to discuss this topic.
Bike Rack Locations?
Also from the above committee discussion, I am seeking to formally list all eligible locations in ANC 6B06 for bike racks between the sidewalk and curb (the “furniture zone”). The locations in our SMD I’m seeking out are in commercial areas or in front of our limited number of apartments. If there’s a specific site where you think a bike rack should go, in our SMD or anywhere in 6B, please let me know. This effort stems from DDOT’s requirement for dockless bikes to have a locking mechanism and the concern that there simply aren’t enough racks. If lack of racks become a problem this spring, I will again push ANC 6B to requests in-street corrals that replace car parking up-and-down Barracks Row, Market Row, and Pennsylvania Ave.
My Goals as your ANC Commissioner
I was officially sworn in on January 2nd and detailed my goals as your ANC Commissioner this year. The one I really want to stress is my willingness to help you navigate the bureaucracy and/or amplify your voice. It’s the most important job we have.
311 Requests Followup: January-Tree Removal and Planting
Each month, I am going to go through the backlog of 311 requests in 6B06 and ensure those requests are being handled appropriately. As we approach the end of tree removal and planting season, I am going through all tree-related requests in 6B06 to get DDOT’s Urban Forestry Administration a time-sensitive list of removals and planting for 6B06. In the last five years, there have been 550 tree-related requests. I will post a detailed, boring, spreadsheet-laden post when I am done checking all those lingering requests.
Website Updates
I’m working on creating static detailed pages for the major projects affecting our SMD. Unfortunately, these are still in process. Soon, expect pages on:
*Penn/Potomac Redesign
*Southeast
Freeway Removal/Southeast Boulevard and Bus Garage Project
*Hill East Conservation District (“Historic District-Lite”) Pilot Project
*Pennsylvania Avenue Bike Lanes
Please reach out if you have any issues, need to bend someone’s ear, kvetch about the neighborhood, or to just pass the time.
