  • 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
    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.

  • SP 0004 Joseph E. Bishop Collection, 1920S
    801 K Street NW Washington, D.C. 20001 www.DCHistory.org SPECIAL COLLECTIONS FINDING AID Title: SP 0004 Joseph E. Bishop collection, 1920s Processed Date: 1999; 2006 [Finding aid updated April 2016] Joseph E. Bishop was a well-known local photographer, having moved to Washington about 1877. At the turn of the Twentieth Century he was appointed Chief Photographer of the Army War College, and in 1905 was given charge of the Mathew Brady Collection of Civil War photographs. In 1919, the Brady Collection was transferred to the Army Signal Corps. Bishop continued to serve as Chief Photographer at the War College until his retirement in 1926. He died March 3, 1929. Scope and Content: The Joseph E. Bishop collection, 1920s, consists of 350 glass plate negatives and corresponding prints. Mr. Bishop has been identified as the photographer of the majority of the images, which are primarily streetscapes of downtown Washington, D.C. and nearby residential areas in the 1920s. The collection is primarily of Old Downtown Washington, but also includes the Georgetown, Foggy Bottom, and Southwest neighborhoods. Among the photographs not attributable to Mr. Bishop are a number of prints which are copy photographs related to the Civil War. Donor: The Bishop Collection was purchased in March 1986 through generous contributions from Mr. John T. Gibson, Mr. Henry H. Glassie, Mr. William Greer, and Mr. Gary Heurich. 1986.106 Size: 1.2 cubic ft. (three containers) Access Restrictions: The collection is open for research.
