DEVELOPMENT Days after a move to limit further “pop-up” projects in Lanier Heights, the developer of a row house

conversion at 1828 Ontario Place NW won a long-fought zoning battle last Tuesday.

RECREATION Western High School alumni are seeking to preserve some memory of their former school – whose

building now houses the Duke Ellington School of the Arts – by renaming the nearby athletic field in itshonor.

POLITICS Reflecting on her first year in office at recent community meetings, Mayor Muriel Bowser sees her

homelessness record as a top achievement.

TRANSPORTATION Shortly after completing emergency fixes at Blair Circle, the D.C. Department of Transportation is

working with its Maryland counterpart to develop more comprehensive changes at the confluence of 16th Street, Eastern Avenue, Colesville Road and North Portal Drive NW.

YEAR IN REVIEW A look back at the last 12 months of Northwest D.C. (all editions)
