GM’s packing up for the long weekend, but he wanted to let you know about an important meeting next week to discuss parking changes.
As you may recall, back in January, DDOT held a lively meeting to gather ideas from the community on what changes could be made to the way public space parking is managed in Georgetown. They’ve taken those ideas, and discussed them with a group that was formed to consider the ideas. Now they’re ready to present back to the community what some of the options could be.
So come on out to hear what changes could possibly come. It’s at 6:30 pm at St. John’s church on O St. across from Hyde.

Why are these meetings always held at times when anyone who is gainfully employed in a position of significant responsibility could not possibly attend? The end result is that policies that affect our community are influenced by a small minority of retired (or otherwise) gadflies and rarely reflect the majority opinion of the neighborhood. It may comes as a shock to some, but those of us with lives rarely have the time to participate in a 6:30pm meeting. I assume this is by design.
Perhaps DDOT can redesign M Street and lower Wisconsin in a manner similar to their brilliant work on Wisconsin in Glover Park.
There will be lots of new parking . . . in the lanes in which cars used to travel.
