2. PSA 106 meets at 7:00pm Congressional Quarter Community Center, 5th & K St, SE.

According to coordinator Eva Walter:  “In 18 days,  the Wharf DC will open and restaurants, bars, music venues, retail, and other entertainment spaces will open for business, bringing thousands of people into the area every night.  How will all of these new establishments be kept safe?  How will the opening of this $2 billion project affect safety and security on this side of South Capitol Street?  How will police cope when a ball game, soccer game, and 6000-person concert occur on the same day?  Come find out on Tuesday, when Lt. Queen will give us an overview of what’s happening and what we should expect.”

1. The Historic Preservation Review Board will meet at 441 4th Street NW in Room 220-South. The Historic Preservation case concerning 418 and 420 7th Street SE, HPA 17-481, revised concept/rear and rooftop additions and new building at rear of lot 5, is scheduled for consideration form 1:00pm – 2:00pm..  The neighbors are up in arms concerning the loss of greenspace, not only for the aesthetic impact on this block in the Capitol Hill Historic District, but also because the greenspace has provided a barrier against invasion by rats drawn to the block by Barracks Row restaurants backing up to the back yards of their alley-less neighbors.
