  • Budget Letter
    February 28, 2019 The Honorable Muriel Bowser Mayor of the District of Columbia 1350 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Suite 300 Washington, DC 20002 Re: Fiscal Year 2020 Budget Proposal Dear Mayor Bowser: As you prepare your Fiscal Year 2020 (“FY20”) proposed budget, I would like to highlight a few Ward 5 priorities and request that you consider funding them in FY20. Last year, your Fair Shot budget made critical investments essential to Ward 5 residents such as supporting $20 million in funding for a new Lamond-Riggs library; $500,000 for new Main Streets and Clean Teams along South Dakota/Riggs Road and Bladensburg; and $300,000 for the design and creation of a statue of native Washingtonian and civil rights leader, Charles Hamilton Houston. Our Ward 5 FY20 budget is about making the District equitable and inclusive for all. From investing in affordable housing to keep residents in their homes to expanding behavioral health and trauma informed services, together, our Ward 5 FY20 budget requests moves the District towards real achievable and equitable results. Further, our Ward 5 budget represents feedback gathered from residents during my Ward 5 Budget Engagement Forum, and consideration of over 300 hours of Advisory Neighborhood Commission (ANC) and civic association meetings. 1. Affordable Housing Affordable housing remains one of the highest priorities of Ward 5 residents. With your leadership and the support of the Council, we have made critical investments in the Housing Production Trust Fund, adjusted amounts for HPAP, and other important steps to ensure housing affordability. However, the Washington Post just reported that “[i]ncome inequality is rising so fast… that data can’t keep up”.

    South Capitol Street Urban Design Study The National Capital Planning Commission The District of Columbia Office of Planning January 2003 2 South Capitol Street Urban Design Study The National Capital Planning Commission The District of Columbia Office of Planning Chan Krieger & Associates Architecture & Urban Design Economic Research Associates (ERA) Economic Development January 2003 South Capitol Street Urban Design Study 1 2 Dear Friends and Colleagues: Great city streets are the very measure of urbanity. They are the stage for city life, the place of public contact, and the intersection where com- mercial enterprise and civic aspiration combine. The Champs Elysees in Paris, Commonwealth Avenue in Boston, and Unter den Linden in Berlin all demonstrate how cohesive and dynamic streets define and animate the life of their cities. South Capitol Street can be such a place. This one-mile stretch from the U.S. Capitol to a magnificent waterfront terminus on the Anacostia River has all the potential to rival the great urban boulevards of the world. With bold vision and creative leadership, South Capitol can be reborn as a vibrant city street for Washington residents and as a National Capital destination for all Americans. We envision the Corridor as a bustling mix of shops, offices, hotels, apartments, civic art, and open space. Where the street meets the river could be the site of a major civic feature such as a museum or memorial and offer additional attractions such as restau- rants, concerts, marinas and waterfront entertainment. This South Capitol Street and Urban Design Study was a cooperative effort between the District’s Office of Planning and the National Capital Planning Commission.
