Today is the last day to comment on proposed zoning changes. At last night’s Vibrant Streets meeting (I will have a write-up on that in the next couple of days), a couple of people raised parking concerns. We as residents have to use the opportunity like this comment period to actually comment in a forum that matters, one in which decision-makers have to take residents’ views into consideration. The zoning changes are a lot to digest, but it is worth taking the time to become educated about them. Read more about the zoning changes on DC’s Zoning blog.
