245 Peabody Street NW (Former Mennonite Church Property) BZA Application

The Chairman of the Board of Zoning Adjustment has granted ANC 4B’s unopposed Motion to Postpone the hearing in this application. The case has been postponed from July 24, 2024, to the VIRTUAL PUBLIC HEARING of WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 2, 2024 through Webex, beginning at 9:30 a.m.

Councilmember Lewis George Ward 4 Dispatch As we approach the public comment deadline for WMATA’s new bus network plan, I’d like to share another summary of the proposed changes that may be helpful. This list organizes the changes by current route, as opposed to the Better Bus Network website, which organizes the changes by new routes. Since residents have expressed concerns about the difficulty of navigating the website, this may be an easier way for people to identify which routes are being changed or cut. Hopefully, this is helpful as we continue to share comments before next Monday, July 15th. Feel free to share with your constituents as you see fit and let me know if I can answer any other questions.

Honoring Ron Austin

During Tuesday's legislative meeting, the Council approved my bill to officially designate the North Dakota Ave Triangle Park as Ron Austin Memorial Park in honor of Ron Austin, a beloved public servant and Manor Park community member who passed away in 2018.

Ron's impact on the Manor Park and Ward 4 community was widespread. He served as President of the South Manor Neighborhood Association, as an ANC Commissioner and Chair in both ANC 4B06 and 4B07, and served the District for 24 years as a staff member for Councilmembers and two different Mayors. After retiring from government, Ron created Helping Hands Community Services to help DC residents in need. Hearing those who knew Ron best during committee consideration of this bill was a testament to how beloved Ron was in our community, and his devotion to improving the lives of his neighbors.

This designation would not have been possible without the efforts of community leaders, especially ANC 4B Commissioners Tiffani Johnson and Allison Brooks. I'm grateful to Commissioners Johnson and Brooks, and everyone involved in pushing this legislation forward. Now that the bill is passed, stay tuned for more on the official park designation ceremony!
