The Week Ahead…ANC Highlights…Some Photos from the Past Week

Southeast Library will reopen for limited services on May 3, Monday through Saturday from 10:00am to 6:00pm.  Here’s what is meant by “limited services” : https://www.dclibrary.org/reopen  For more information, go here: https://www.dclibrary.org/node/68011

Last Monday, a memorial paying tribute to USCP Officer William “Billy” Evans remained across from the North Barricade to the US Capitol. Evans, an 18 year veteran of the force, was killed on April 2nd, by a car driven by a man who attempted to breach security.

On April 14, the city denied the request of the pastor of the Capitol Hill Baptist Church for a 238 seat section in the church’s West Hall for those who have been fully vaccinated and wearing masks.  Last Monday, during Mayor Bowser’s Situational Briefing, Dr. LaQuandra Nesbitt, Director of DOH, was asked by a reporter to comment on the denial.  Nesbitt said that there is a difference in a gathering with people not in the same households where they are singing or engaging in higher risk activities, sitting shoulder to shoulder, and shaking hands and hugging – and other public gatherings.
A Step toward Reopening:  Last Wednesday, officials at the US Capitol announced a small step toward reopening for the first time since the Coronavirus closure.  Visitors with official business will be able to enter the Capitol Building on Monday, April 26.  Congressional Office Buildings will be open to those with appointments starting Friday, April 29
As the renovation of Eastern Market Metro Plaza nears completion, here’s a look at the “Bosque” area with tables and chairs.
The broad open space south of the Metro entrance will be the site of a raised event pavilion. The pavilion element will be among the last elements to be installed. A grand opening attended by the Mayor, CM Charles Allen, and other city officials is being planned for June.

    The Eastern Market Metro plaza – what a transformation! It is just wonderful.

    That’s interesting- when I saw the renovated plaza I was disappointed and think it doesn’t look very different. Thought there’d be less hard surfaces and more landscaping. What do you like about it? I can’t really imagine who would be using all those red tables and chairs they’re putting everywhere?
