Wanna Be an Urban Planner?
The Office of Planning is holding the first of a series of workshops to involve the entire community in learning about and revising DC's Comprehensive Plan. The plan will guide how and where we will grow as a city, as well as provide the policy and planning guidance needed to address the issues facing the District today.
The workshops will let you offer your thoughts on four major challenges that must be addressed to plan for the future:
* Housing Choices * Transportation and Land Use * Education and Employment * Environmental Protection
The workshops will be held all week at convenient locations around the city:
Tuesday, Jan. 25 Workshop for Wards 5 and 6 6 to 9 p.m. McKinley Technology High School (115 T St. NE; Rhode Island Metro)
Wednesday, Jan. 26 Workshop for Wards 3 and 4 6 to 9 p.m. Paul Public Charter School (5800 Eighth St. NW; just north of Missouri Avenue, two blocks east of Georgia)
Thursday, Jan. 27 Workshop for Wards 7 and 8 6 to 9 p.m. Ballou Senior High School (3401 Fourth St. SE; Congress Heights Metro) Saturday, Jan. 29 Workshop and Community Fair for Wards 1 and 2 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Shaw Junior High School (925 Rhode Island Ave. NW; Shaw Metro).
