Nuclear Security Summit Neighborhood Impact the week of 27 March

Below are the details that Richard mailed out to everyone.  I attended the secret service briefing and can relate a few additional key facts:

1) Secret service press releases -  http://www.secretservice.gov/press/releases/

2) Mt. Vernon metro station will be closed plan on using a different station

3) The summit wraps up on Friday but they are giving themselves till noon on Saturday to clean up and reopen everything

4) The street closures that impact us kick in either Tuesday the 29th at 7PM or Wed the 30th

5) The parking restrictions kick in as early as Sunday the 27th, note that includes 10th Street south of N

6) You will be able to walk almost everywhere but have an ID with you

7) Blagden Alley can be accessed by car only from the 10th Street entrance, you'll need an ID

8) All the businesses will be open but in many case you'll have to walk in from 10th Street and park West of there

9) If you park in a garage inside the restricted zone - there is a way to get there - if you aren't sure try the secret service number 202.406.5708 or just ask them, they will be blanketing the area

Naylor Stables LLC, withdraws ABRA application for 1322 9th ST NW, Note from Paul Harrison below

Dear Neighbors,

We received a note this morning announcing that the applicants for the proposed beer garden on 9^th Street had withdrawn their request for a liquor license and were walking away from the project.  The protest hearing before ABRA scheduled for tomorrow has therefore been cancelled.

As I’ve noted in my prior emails, those of us who protested the application have been, and continue to be, supportive of the redevelopment of 9^th Street as a commercial and restaurant destination for a diverse clientele.  Throughout the conversation, and again after the notice, we made it clear to the applicants that our opposition was about this site and this use – not them - and that we’d welcome their opening the right operation in the right building in our part of Shaw.  I personally will continue to support them at Etto and hope that we see them here in Shaw in the future. 

Many people supported us in this effort, we can’t thank them enough!

Please let me know if you have any questions, and stay tuned in all of our continuing effort to support the revitalization of 9^th Street.

Best,

Paul Harrison
