ANC Preview: Lousy Smarch Edition

The ANC is meeting for its March session next Monday at 6:30 pm at Georgetown Visitation.

The agenda, below, has a couple interesting items. The first is the proposed cuts to bus service (which GM has already discussed). Presumably the Commission will come out strongly against the cuts. It’s too early to tell whether pressure against the cuts will reverse the agency’s position. The cuts are largely driven by budgetary pressures, particularly new rules pushed by Virginia that limits the amount of money WMATA can get. Thanks jerks! How about we cut a lane of traffic on I-66 coming in to DC as thanks?

Anyhow, the ANC is also introducing a new feature where they highlight a small independent business. This month they are featuring Georgetown Cafe, a small coffee shop on N St. just east of Wisconsin Ave.

Here is the full agenda:
