From an email:

“The Office of Planning has published preliminary findings and recommendations for improving the H Street corridor and invite the community to join us in discussing them at an open house:

June 24, from 5:30-7:30pm at the former Autozone (1207 H St. NE)

The draft is based on research and analysis, input from over 200 community members, and coordination with District agencies. We’re inviting feedback at the open house and an online survey, open through July 26. We’ll then revise the draft to prepare a final study for release this fall.

“Dear PoPville,

A close colleague (and friend) recently passed away. He was very instrumental in ag policy and green space revitalization and protection. We would like to plant a tree in his memory. Anyone know who we can talk to at Urban Forestation at DDOT or NPS to make this a reality?”

Has anyone ever done something like this before? What were the steps you took to make it a reality?

“Commanders Seek Information About AI Opportunities for Next-Generation Stadium Vision”

By Prince Of Petworth

From the Washington Commanders:

“The Washington Commanders are building a new world-class stadium and mixed-use entertainment district at the former RFK Stadium site in Washington, D.C. Designed by HKS Architects, this project represents one of the most significant sports and entertainment developments currently underway in North America.

This RFI seeks information about existing or previously deployed AI capabilities and approaches for creating cutting-edge experiences at state-of-the-art venues from firms at the forefront of artificial intelligence, experience design, venue operations, and fan engagement technology. Our objective is to understand how leading-edge companies envision the next generation of the stadium and district experience, one that is fundamentally shaped by AI, across the full spectrum of fan engagement, building operations, and commercial activation.

We are not seeking traditional technology proposals. We are seeking information from firms that can help us imagine what becomes possible when a $3.8B+ stadium and the surrounding district are conceived, designed, and operated with AI as a foundational capability rather than a bolt-on feature.

Who Should Respond

This RFI is intended for: (more…)
