The goal is to preserve the great community events that happen here in The District while also addressing some shortcomings in the current ordinance. Just an example, our application is only a page long, leaving out many key issues that organizers must address in order to safely close a street. A more comprehensive ordinance could clarify how a street can be closed and what an organizer must do in order to close it.
Council will address this issue Monday night at their regular 7:00 pm session. If Council agrees, the CID Board will begin hosting a series of public meetings to seek input on the issue.
