A reminder that tomorrow (Wednesday March 12) is the community meeting on ballpark traffic management and curbside parking issues, where representatives of DDOT, the Sports and Entertainment Commission, and the Nationals will be on hand to answer questions on the Transportation and Residential Curbside Management Plan (so read it before you get there so you know what to ask about!). It's technically an "open workshop" that will "highlight the numerous parts of the overall transportation and parking operations that will be in effect during events at the new stadium." The press release about the meeting also says that DDOT "will also offer their appreciation to the area residents and business owners for their support and patience during the recent street upgrades in the South Capitol corridor." (Cookies? Cake? Gold stars for foreheads?) The meeting is on the 10th floor of 20 M Street, SE, from 6 to 8:30 pm.

For those interested in getting news on Benedict XVI's visit to the U.S. (which includes the April 17 Mass at Nationals Park) the Conference of Catholic Bishops has set up a blog with the latest headlines and items of interest, at uspapalvisit.org. And, if you want a blog about the visit that's a little closer to home, the Washington Times has a papal visit blog, too.
