I think it's time to ask DC water to put up security cameras around their construction on 1st and Adams. Blocking off the streets with walls and creating blind corners is making it a preferred spot for robberies and package thieves. Also whatever happened to MPD's push from a few weeks ago?

Seriously. Use some of that ~$4 million they won't be paying Skanska since they aren't finishing on time.

I wonder if MPD should put Bloomingdale in the Third District (U Street/Ledroit) instead of the Fifth (most of Northeast). I have to believe that North Cap serves as a psychological barrier that keeps down the frequency of regular patrols in Bloomingdale, given the geography in which they are otherwise working.
