DC has major food access and affordability issues for entire sections of the city, our seniors, and the poor. The fight to increase SNAP benefits is not merely a financial decision but a moral one. We must stop making budgetary decisions on the backs of our vulnerable residents.

No Red Line service this weekend, between NoMa-Gallaudet and Brookland Stations; Rhode Island Ave/Brentwood Station will be closed. Metro is installing radio and fiber-optic cables. Free shuttle service will be provided. wmata.com/about/news/Wee…

Commissioner Sahni Commissioner Aru Sahni (5F02) and I on the now the Rhode Island Avenue metro bridge, ramps, and steps now cleared of ice and snow. We share what it took to get agencies to remember this bridge and the MBT exist and need to be part of pretreatment and post-snow clearing plans.

Thank you for your leadership and getting ANC 5F off to a great start in our first year.

Coming soon: stoplight at Rhode Island and 3rd

We (ANC 5F ) are actively re-escalating this ongoing issue to DDOT. It's only a matter of time before something worse happens.

There is an active water outage in Eckington caused by a water leak on the 1900 block of 2nd St NE. DC Water would it be possible to get an update on when this will be fixed? Crew on site is saying it will last another 8 hours.

Some more photos of people struggling across the Bryant St bridge that remains unplowed as of this morning. It's a key link for thousands to reach RI Ave Metro station. This happened last year and DC Department of Public Works it would not be forgotten next time.... Help Mayor Muriel Bowser !

The car on the MBT this evening was an MPD officer on official business. I still don't buy that it's safe but it was deliberate and lawful. This time. Still need hardened bollards or planters at MBT entrances at R, Randolph, S, and T streets NE, DDOT DC DC311 !

ANC 5F has asked for this multiple times and awaits DDOT response to our most recent resolution on it: drive.google.com/file/d/1KSW9l-…

Scheduled water outage for tomorrow morning 5/31 in Eckington has been canceled. I’m waiting on the full list of blocks affected from DC Water but would love your help in getting the word out to neighbors!

I have requested a special ANC 5F meeting for September 2 at 6pm ET to consider a resolution condemning the ongoing federal overreach. There is a narrative out there that DC residents support it that Congress should let it extend past September 10. We must counter!
