Advisory Neighborhood Commission (ANC 6A) met via Zoom on July 11. Commissioners Mike Velasquez (6A02), Amber Gove (6A04, chair), Dave Wethington (6A05) and Steve Moilanen (6A07) were in attendance. Commissioners Roberta Shapiro (6A03) and Robb Dooling (6A06) were absent. Single Member District (SMD) 6A01 is currently vacant. The commission elected Dave Wethington as its Vice Chair.
The DC Dept. of Transportation (DDOT) is planning to create a single, 20-foot pickup/drop-off (PUDO) zone adjacent to the Adams Market at 609 Seventh St. NE. The PUDO would replace a single Residential Permit Parking (RPP) spot on the north side of the 700 block of F Street just east of the intersection at F and Seventh Streets NE. The PUDO would operate from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., Mondays through Saturdays.
DDOT issued a Notice of Intent (NOI) on July 8 informing outlining the plan. The agency’s plan is designed to alleviate the issues it created by the installation of flex posts on the 700 block of Seventh St. NE as a pedestrian safety measure.
“The [posts] have eliminated the ability of the store owners to park and deliver their supplies and also for a customer who wants to run in for 15 minutes,” Commissioner Shapiro said.
The commission voted to send a letter to DDOT ing the PUDO. DDOT will accept public comments on the measure until August 19.
