Late last night MPD tweeted: “Traffic Advisory: On Tuesday, January 12, 2021, at approximately 6 am, morning commuters should be aware of parking restrictions & potential street closures in the downtown area. Stay tuned for additional updates.”
I got lots of concerned queries asking what this was about. The Mayor now explains:
“Allow for additional travel time in and around downtown. All are encouraged to sign up for text alerts, text INAUG2021 to 888-777.
This is the beginning of the installation of the inauguration perimeter around the White House, the Mall, the Capitol and parts of downtown.“
