This residential district with a central commercial corridor maintains a strong connection to its past and conveys a sense of history through its carefully planned streets, historic architecture, and open spaces. Initially on the rural edge of the young federal city, the area that became Woodley Park remained largely undeveloped until late in the 19th century. Today, however, rowhouses have replaced agricultural fields, country estates have given way to apartment buildings, and Connecticut Avenue— Woodley Park’s primary thoroughfare—is lined with Woodley Park in winter looking northwest busy restaurants and shops. over Connecticut Avenue bridge, 1908. Library of Congress Together, Woodley Park’s mix of former country estates, semi-detached houses, apartment buildings, and row- houses comprise a distinguishable entity that has merited recognition as a National Register Historic District. The Woodley Park Historic District is bounded roughly by Cathedral Avenue to the north and east, 29th Street to the west, and Woodley Road and Connecticut Avenue to the south and southwest. The district is significant for its varied architecture, featuring the work of notable archi- tects such as George Santmyers, Albert Beers, William Allard, and Mihran Mesrobian, and for its contribution to our understanding of development patterns in Washington, DC. 1 afforded a commanding view of the buildings under construction in the nascent capital, the port at Georgetown, and the expanse of the Potomac River.

In a famous letter from Abigail to her husband on March 31, 1776, she wrote: “I long to hear that you have declared an independency. And, by the way, in the new code of laws which I suppose it will be necessary for you to make, I desire you would remember the ladies and be more generous and favorable to them than your ancestors. Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of the husbands. Remember, all men would be tyrants if they could. If particular care and attention is not paid to the ladies, we are determined to foment a rebellion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any laws in which we have no voice or representation.” Day One Walking Tour From the hotel, head south on 16th St. to Lafayette Square.

    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”.

  • Northwest Rectangle
    58 MONUMENTAL CORE FRAMEWORK PLAN EDAW Extend the Commemorative Landscape THE NORTHWEST RECTANGLE The Northwest Rectangle—a place of beautiful and monumental institutions adjacent to the National Mall—can become an accessible and walkable cultural destination and workplace. An interconnected system of parks can extend the commemorative qualities of the National Mall northward to link the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts with the Lincoln Memorial, the White House, and President’s Park. The Northwest Rectangle can emphasize its own distinctive identity of historic, architectural, cultural, and scenic interest by capitalizing on the prominence of the Kennedy Center, a living memorial to President John F. Kennedy, and strengthening its connection to nearby iconic landscapes and the educational and diplomatic institutions in the vicinity. In a rejuvenated Northwest Rectangle, pedestrians and transit vehicles would easily make their way between the river, the National Mall, the Kennedy Center, and downtown Washington. Fundamental to achieving this objective would be decking over disruptive roadways, creating a new park along the Potomac River, strategically locating cultural attractions, shops, and visitor amenities along the E Street corridor, and cohesively knitting together the precinct’s parks and plazas. Consolidated and less intrusive infrastructure for the Theodore Roosevelt Bridge would maintain vehicular access and capacity while eliminating the roadways and access ramps that currently disrupt the area. It would also allow
