A reminder for those who might be interested that tomorrow (Friday, Nov. 16) at 10 am is the City Council Committee on Public Works and the Environment hearing on "
Major Bridge Construction Projects in the District," which will no doubt include discussions of the 11th Street Bridges, the 14th Street Bridge, and probably the Douglass Bridge. It can be watched live on
DC Cable 13 or
via streaming video, and will be archived on the
Office of Cable Television web site for later on-demand showings. I'll be watching it and will report back on any Near Southeast-specific news that comes out of it. I'm guessing that among the public witnesses will be representatives of the Coalition of Concerned Citizens of Eastern Washington, who have been raising questions about the various road and bridge projects planned along the Anacostia, including advocating that a new "traffic mobility study" be undertaken. (Here's
their flyer and a copy of a letter to Mayor Fenty they sent back in August.)
