“Save the walking lane!” Sign the petition to keep the “service” lane for pedestrians!


3300 – 3400 block of Connecticut Avenue NW

From one of the very best bars in DC, the one, the only, Nanny O’Briens:

“Help your favorite local pub keep the service lane closed for pedestrian traffic and street eateries!”

“We the undersigned petition Mayor Bowser to allow streatery and other pedestrian uses to the sidewalk formerly known as the “service lane” along the east side of the 3300-3400 block of Connecticut Avenue NW between Macomb and Ordway Streets NW and to prohibit automobiles from this sidewalk.

This would keep the pandemic-era status-quo permanently, allowing for long term planning of higher quality streateries, better placemaking and a safer pedestrian environment. We also petition the Mayor to accelerate the safety and parking management improvements along Connecticut Ave to allow for more commercial loading, pick-up and drop-off, handicapped, and short-term parking on Connecticut Ave and the immediate side streets in the Cleveland Park commercial area.”

Sign the petition here.

We’re about a month out from summer. That means you’ve still got time for spring cleaning!

Lexi Grant, an operations manager at Well-Paid Maids, shared her go-to spring cleaning tips with WTOP News. Step one? Declutter. Get rid of items you don’t use, find space for items that need a home and organize those areas.

Then, it’s time to dust. Lexi starts with high-touch surface areas (think: refrigerator, dishwasher, counters, microwave). One area she sees often neglected is the bedroom — and it makes sense. Heavy furniture is difficult to move around, but it’s important to really get in there so dust doesn’t affect your sleep.
