The Week Ahead…Highlights…Photos from the Past Week


National Guardsmen leave DC at midnight Sunday.  The East Front Plaza appears to be devoid of security personnel around noon on Sunday. The deployment of the last 2,000 National Guardsmen – the remainder of the 25,000 sent to DC after the January 6 insurrection – will end at midnight Sunday, May 23. For now, the fences will remain.
Thursday, DPMED held a virtual hearing at which developers presented their concepts for the Phase II development of 8 parcels comprising almost 500,000 square feet on Reservation 13.  The parcels are up for development bids in two bundles.  There are two bids on bundle one (left, above):  Donatteli Development/Blue Skye Development and The NRP Group/Argos Group.  There are three bids on bundle two (rigth, above):  Home Team Community Partners, LDP (Jair Lynch), and R 13 Community Partners.  Residents will have at least until June 4 (and at the request of Ward 6 ANC Commissioners probably until until mid-June) to submit comments.  Submit to:  daryl.thomas@dc.gov  For links to the five presentations, go here:   https://dmped.dc.gov/page/hill-east-district-redevelopment
Following the Mayor’s guidelines, as of Saturday, Sports & Health no longer requires masks for fully vaccinated guests working out in the gym. Also, the locker rooms and showers have reopened with the jacuzzis and saunas to follow in a week or so.
