DC Water NEBT traffic advisory for the 100 block of T Street NW

From: Hadiah Jordan <Hadiah.Jordan@dcwater.com>

Date: Tue, Jan 29, 2019 at 2:59 PM
Subject: NEBT: Traffic Advisory for T Street NW

Good afternoon, everyone. Today we distributed the attached notice to residents and businesses on T Street NW, U Street NW, Thomas Street NW, and on Rhode Island Avenue NW between First Street NW to 2nd Street NW.

Traffic/Parking Restrictions on T Street NW

January 29, 2019

(Washington, DC) – DC Water will perform below ground investigations to assess the locations of underground utilities on the 100 block of T Street NW as part of the Northeast Boundary Tunnel Project. The work will consist of drilling holes and small excavations in T Street NW to locate possible utility structures.

Work will begin on or about February 4, 2019, weather permitting, and continue for approximately three weeks between 9:00 AM and 3:30 PM. The work will occur between 113 T Street NW and 143 T Street NW. Parking restrictions on T Street will be in place. During work hours, access to T Street NW from westbound Rhode Island Avenue NW will be closed. After 3:30 PM, crews will temporarily restore the roadway to allow through travel and normal parking to occur overnight until the next working day. Signs will be prominently posted outlining the activities and limits of parking restrictions.

Important Information

• People who live or work near the affected location will notice additional construction equipment and personnel as well as noise associated with construction activities.

• Commuters and pedestrians will notice road signs and/or flagging personnel directing them around the work site.

The Northeast Boundary Tunnel 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 areas it serves, as well as reduce the amount of combined sewer overflows into the Anacostia River by 98%.

For more information, please contact

See this 01-19-2019 event announcement from Metropolitan Wesley AME Zion Church:

six weeks from today: Boundary Stone's St. Baldrick's fun headshaving event to raise funds to help fight childhood cancers

We are looking for shavees and donations for our annual St. Baldrick’s Day head shaving event at Boundary Stone. This is our 6th annual event at the pub and have thus far raised $329,053 for children’s cancer research! The day itself is one of our favorite days at the pub and is both a fun and emotional one where we come together as a community. To get more of a feel for what the day and organization are about, check out this 7 minute film created by LeDroit park resident Quentin Kelly about our 2015 event: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgUhfS0n_gc&feature=youtu.be. We have also created a Facebook event page here: https://www.facebook.com/events/291660741698601/?notif_t=event_calendar_create&notif_id=1547061126548928.

This year’s event is scheduled for March 10th and we have set the lofty goal of $100,000! To sign up to be a shavee or to donate, please click on this link: https://www.stbaldricks.org/events/BoundaryStone2019.

Below are a few facts about children’s cancer and St. Baldrick’s.

Worldwide, a child is diagnosed with cancer every two minutes.
Childhood cancer is the #1 disease killer of kids in the U.S.
Current childhood cancer research is significantly underfunded. Of the U.S. federal funding for cancer research, only 4% is solely dedicated to childhood cancers.
St. Baldrick’s is the largest private funder of childhood cancer research grants.
Since 2005, St. Baldrick's has committed more than $253 million to lifesaving research. Grants include training the next generation of researchers, supporting innovative research and helping institutions treat more children in clinical trials.

Together we can do this!

Thanks for your help!

HU Alumna Senator Kamala Harris Announces 2020 U.S. Presidential Candidacy

Kamala Harris (BA 1986), a barrier-breaking U.S. senator and former California attorney general, announced her 2020 presidential campaign on ABC's Good Morning America on Jan. 21.

The daughter of immigrants from India and Jamaica, Harris has been seen as a rising star in the Democratic Party, even before she won her senate seat in 2016. Harris received national attention as San Francisco district attorney before her election as California Attorney General in 2010.

The announcement was made on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day which Harris’s campaign said was intended to be a reminder of the “inspirational fight for progress” that marked her upbringing and guides her today.

“Let’s do this, together. Let’s claim our future. For ourselves, for our children, and for our country,” Harris said in a campaign video. “The future of our country depends on you and millions of others lifting our voices to fight for our American values.”

Check out Harris' campaign video on her website: https://kamalaharris.org

Howard University Cancer Center And Driver Partner To Expand Access To Advanced Treatments For African American Cancer Patients

The Howard University Cancer Center and Driver are working together to expand access to advanced therapies for cancer patients receiving care at Howard University Hospital (HUH), in Washington, D.C. This joint effort will seek to match African American cancer patients to cancer clinical trials at the National Cancer Institute (NCI), part of the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Md.

“Howard University’s Cancer Center serves a population that is around 90 percent African American. For many of the cancers that we commonly treat, this group has some of the highest mortality rates of any racial or ethnic groups,” says Dr. Carla D. Williams, Howard University associate professor of medicine and public health and interim director of the Howard University Cancer Center. “Working with Driver and the NCI increases the efficiency of providing our community with access to cutting-edge treatment options. This brings these treatments within reach of people who otherwise might not have access.”
