Chinatown Task Force, New Speeding Crackdown, and MLK Day of Service
DC is making plans — a little late — about the future of Chinatown. Plus, some changes to DC traffic policy are on the horizon. And it’s about to be MLK day. We have a roundup of ways you can spend the day volunteering.
Our roundups are powered by all the stellar local reporting in the area:
- Check out the Mayor’s announcement about the Chinatown Task Force.
- WTOP breaks down the new STEER Amendment Act.
- And if you’re looking for volunteer opportunities on MLK Day, there’s a bunch of official events!
