Hey folks, I hope all of you are well. I'm excited for this project. https://buspriority.ddot.dc.gov/pages/hstne About 3 weeks ago I got a response from Zack Gambetti (DDOT) that an associate of his (Abraham Diallo) is preparing a response to ANC 6As additional requests outlined here: https://anc6a.org/wp-content/uploads/ANC-6A-Support-for-H-Street-Bus_Streetcar-Only-Lanes-NOI-24-07-TDD.pdf I wasn't given a timeline, but I understand this is supposed to start construction this year (possibly before Fall?). Maybe Keya or someone can shed some light on this for us! Thank you, Shawn

You may have come across versions of this news but in case, see below. The rendering is AI generated and very incorrect. I believe this is a round 2 (possibly 3) attempt at developing this property so I don't think we could hold our breath. H street doesn't seem to have a curated terminus with the exception of a busy/chaotic "starburst" intersection. I would be curious how a development like this could support positive growth for H street. Hechinger Mall: Ben Ashkenazy and Ashkenazy Acquisition Corp.

Hey Folks, It looks like we got a pretty decent response. 7/8 of the folks who completed their availability indicated that this time would work. So if it still makes sense we're looking at next Monday, April 15, 6pm -- 7-7:30 If anyone has suggestions for an agenda please share! I think the main benefits of the first meeting would be to continue brainstorming, get to know each other and familiarize ourselves with the issues across all of H St. I wasn't able to get a few captains signed up to the listserv yet. I don't want to pester people, but in case some of you know the following people, and they are interested, please let them know they can subscribe by sending an email to H-St-Alliance-Block-Captains+subscribe@groups.io - Moses R (mosesrojas@...) - Patrick Godfrey (pjgodfrey@...) - Joe Fuentes (fuentj@...) If anyone cares to cap off the walk with a drink or some food, I for one would vote for Fresca Taqueria at 7th. :) Take care, Shawn

Hi all, I believe we have some interest in a full walk of H St, so I want to try a little experiment here. See if you like this method for finding a time that works best for everyone. This tool might feel a little quirky (ancient), I'm guessing most of you haven't used this before, but it is extremely simple, and free, with no tracking, or ads. I'm also open to using something else. Instructions: You almost certainly want to do this on a computer. Use the link: https://www.when2meet.com/?24334188-csNAZ The Sign-in process will create your login credentials, there is no separate "create login" Select a username If you are a block captain: make it your first name and your block (or range of blocks) e.g. mine is Shawn300500 If you are not a block captain: make it your first name and last initial (perhaps more if you need to, to differentiate). e.g. mine would be ShawnS You can optionally set a password (don't forget it, you can't reset it or retrieve it). It's probably a good idea to use a password. Just highlight the times you would prefer to do the walk. The calendar starts next Tuesday and spans ~3 weeks. The usernames will be visible to anyone who has the link. This is how we will know who can make it at any given time. I'm thinking we would want to set aside a minimum of 60-90 minutes but perhaps longer. I welcome any suggestions, alternative ways to do this, or other meeting ideas. My thought here is to find a time when literally every block captain can make it or at least one captain for each block. Thank you! Shawn
