Medians to be removed on Rhode Island Avenue NW
between North Capitol Street and 2nd Street NW

(Washington, DC) – In preparation for DC Water’s Northeast Boundary Tunnel (NEBT) (dcwater.com/NEBT), contractors will remove the median on Rhode Island Avenue, NW between 2nd Street, NW and North Capitol Street, NW. This removal is needed to allow for various detours and lane shifts during the construction of this, the longest tunnel segment for the Anacostia River. Work is expected to begin the week of March 11, 2019, and will require parking and traffic restrictions. Work hours are between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, continuing for approximately four weeks.

Travel Restrictions: 
  • The left lanes in both directions of Rhode Island Avenue, NW will be closed.
    • Eastbound Rhode Island Avenue, NW:  traffic will be reduced from three lanes to two lanes between 3rd Street, NW and North Capitol Street, NW.
    • Westbound Rhode Island Avenue, NW: traffic will be reduced from three lanes to two lanes between North Capitol Street, NW and 2nd Street, NW.
24-Hour Parking Restrictions: 
  • Parking will be restricted on the north and south sides of Rhode Island Avenue, NW
    • North side of Rhode Island Avenue, NW between North Capitol Street, NW and 2nd Street, NW.
    • South side of Rhode Island Avenue, NW between 3rd Street, NW and 1st Street, NW.
  • Parking will also be restricted on the south side of the 100 block of Thomas Street, NW between 1st Street, NW, and the alley.  

Parking Restrictions Map

Important Information
  • People who live or work near the affected location(s) may notice additional equipment as well as noise associated with construction activities.
  • Commuters and pedestrians may notice road signs and/or flagging personnel directing them around the work site.
DC Clean Rivers has worked closely with the District Department of Transportation, Department of Energy and Environment, and other supporting agencies to design a plan that minimizes impact to traffic and pedestrian travel and conserves several trees important to the landscape of the neighborhood.

The NEBT is the largest component of the Clean Rivers Project and will start south of RFK Stadium and extend north to Rhode Island Avenue, NE, and west to 6th Street, NW. When complete, the approximately five-mile long tunnel will significantly reduce chronic flooding in the areas it serves, while reducing the amount of combined sewer overflows into the Anacostia River.

WBJ post - AFRH cancels plans for assisted living at historic Grant Building, but does not impact AFRH's pending RFP to develop 80-acres

Armed Forces Retirement Home spikes assisted living project


Daniel J. Sernovitz, Staff Reporter
Washington Business Journal

The Armed Forces Retirement Home has canceled plans to let a private developer convert the historic Grant Building on its Northwest D.C. campus into an assisted living facility, an initiative launched to generate additional revenue for the self-funded, executive branch agency.
...

The decision to cancel the LOI does not impact the AFRH's pending request for proposals to developers to redevelop an 80-acre portion of its 272-acre campus by North Capitol and Irving streets NW. That process that has been delayed due to the federal shutdown but is expected to advance to the selection stage later this spring.

Tonight at The Unified Scene Theater: WTF Is Wrong With You? -- A (Free!) Live Podcast with Shawn Westfall of The Unified Scene Theater and John Papageorgiu of Papa's Basement

FREE! at The Unified Scene Theater, 80 T Street NW, Bloomingdale, DC (8 pm; doors at 7:30 pm)

What's wrong with you? Well, plenty, probably: living in DC costs a lot of money, and your job pays you in Pizza Hut coupons; dating and relationships are tough, and you haven't been allowed into the super-hot-peeps-sexy-time dating app that all the cool kids are on; and a strain of amoebic dysentery somehow became sentient, got elected president, and is now ruining the country, and your life. So, yeah, plenty. So you got questions about, like, a lot. 

Fear no more: Shawn and John are here to help. 

They'll take your questions. They'll give you advice. Now, mind you, neither are medical professionals: Shawn's the owner and co-founder of The Unified Scene Theater, a teacher of improv comedy, holds an MA in English Lit, is an honorably discharged member of the United State Air Force, and was once married to a woman nearly 17 years older than he. John doesn't have an advanced degree, but before you get all hoity-toity with the book learnin', know that he's accomplished a lot in his life: he runs his own business; he's the brainchild behind Papa's Basement, DC's premier comedy podcast; and, finally, he's managed to circumnavigate various local judicial systems champing at the bit to serve him multiple bench warrants. So, yeah, you can act on that advice at your own discretion. 

In short, they've got problems, too. And theirs might pale in comparison to yours, putting your own in perspective. And you might laugh and feel better. At the very least it'll be fun.

So show up. It's free, remember? Tell us what's going on. It'll be on a podcast that might go viral. And who knows? You might get internet famous. And who doesn't want that? 

More info here.

See you tonight!
