From DDOT:
“The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) is issuing a Notice to Proceed (NTP) to Fort Myer Construction Corporation (FMCC) for construction of Maryland Avenue, NE on June 10, 2019. The project is expected to be complete by Summer of 2021.
Work will begin on the inbound lanes of Maryland Avenue from 14th Street toward 3rd Street, NE. The permitted construction hours are Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Over the next two years, Maryland Avenue, NE will be subject to alternative traffic patterns, temporary lane closures, and parking restrictions.
DDOT will notify the public in advance of any traffic shifts. Signage and protective barriers will be used to guide people through the work zone area. Motorist should anticipate delays due to shifting traffic patterns. Please stay alert while traveling to this location and be observant of road work crews.
The project will improve the safety of Maryland Avenue, between 2nd Street NW to 14th Street NE by reducing the number of traffic lanes from four to two, adding bicycle lanes, and curb extensions to reduce the length of the pedestrian crossings, upgrading wheelchair ramps, and improving the traffic signal operations.
Washington Gas has an ongoing project within the same project area as the Maryland Avenue, NE Streetscape Project, and they are working outbound from 3rd Street toward 14th Street, NE. For more information about that project, visit their website at: https://www.washingtongas.com.

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
