ANC Resolution on the Monumental Arch at Memorial Circle
ANC 3/4G SMD 05 resident John Ayers has requested that the ANC discuss and potentially vote on a resolution opposing the proposed monumental arch at Memorial Circle in Washington, DC.
HAWK Signal at Connecticut Avenue NW and Legation Street NW
The HAWK signal at Connecticut Avenue NW and Legation Street NW is now tentatively expected to become operational by the end of November due to contractual delays with Pepco. DDOT has completed the infrastructure, but Pepco must install the electrical service before the signal can be activated. I know many residents are eager for the signal to be operational, and I hope it will be up and running before the new year.

DC Water and DC Fire and EMS: Fire Sprinkler Safety
DC Water and DC Fire and EMS are partnering for Fire Prevention Month to promote fire sprinkler safety and update the District’s fire sprinkler system records.
Over the coming weeks, residents and property owners may receive calls or mail from DC Water or see staff in the neighborhood asking them to confirm whether their property has a fire sprinkler system, verify that it is operational by checking its water pressure, and report the information at www.firesprinkler.dcwater.com
Your participation helps support emergency response efforts and maintain accurate records. Thank you for helping keep our community safe!
