The Week Ahead….& Some Photos from the Past Week

Thursday afternoon circa 5pm on Pennsylvania Avenue, SE, residents welcome a noisy contingent of the trucker convoy traversing Capitol Hill via 8th Street, SE, with a hand signal indicating, “We’re number one.”
ANC6A Planning and Zoning Committee met on Wednesday and overwhelmingly voted to support a map amendment to change zoning at the Auto Zone site at 1207 H Street, NE, to take advantage of a Inclusionary Zoning Plus program which provides for no-hassle rezoning of a development site if the developer commits to making 20% of the units affordable at 60% AMI.  It provides an alternative to the PUD process which can be protracted.
Sticky Fingers on H Street, NE, (formerly Fare Well) opened on Wednesday.  Same owners, different brand.  100% vegan –  remodeled – 56 seats – 406 H Street, NE.  Hours:  Wednesday – Sunday, 10am – 9pm.  Closed Monday-Tuesday.  Menus here:  https://www.eatfarewell.com/ …

…and across H Street and on the corner, The Big Board’s liquor license remains indefinitely suspended.  After raising about $58,000 on two fund raising sites in the past 6 weeks, donations have slowed to a trickle. 

Last Tuesday, the Ward 6 Task Force on Redistricting hoped to sign off on the final map changing ANC boundaries but didn’t get there.  The consensus was to send the proposed changes to ANC6D and ANC6C back to the subcommittees for another look.  The Task Force signed off on changes to ANC6A, ANC6B, and ANC6E.  Among those, the new map will split jurisdiction over Eastern Market Metro among single member districts 6B02, 6B03 and 6B04 and jurisdiction over Lincoln Park between 6B08 and 6A04; this on the theory that 2 or 3 commissioners have more clout with the city or feds than one.   The Task Force will meet on Tuesday, March 22 for review and final approval of the Ward 6 map.  See The Week Ahead below for link to join the meeting.  Pictured is Task Force member Ken Jarboe.
