Commissioner Andrew DeFrank

Thanks to the folks behind this month’s Dupont Circle Neighbor Happy Hour for putting on a great evening. Had a chance to share more info about the ANC and how folks can get involved (join a committee now, run for office in November!). Looking forward to the next one!

Good morning from the Dupont Festival! Six more weeks of winter 😑

Relieved to finally see some serious plowing and, really, snow removal in north Dupont.

Post Brothers Lands $465M To Kickstart D.C.'s Largest Housing Conversion The financing from Nuveen Green Capital for the Connecticut Avenue office-to-residential conversion appears to set a record for C-PACE loans.

This is great news for Connecticut Avenue businesses! Soon, 500+ more people will be living just steps aware from CT Ave, the new plaza, Metro, and more. www.bisnow.com/washington-d...

This is very frustrating and the wrong outcome. I’ve enjoyed coffee with many neighbors here including in colder months. We should further reduce the fee below $15 per square foot so that business is like this can continue operating streateries.

The DC Holiday Market opens tomorrow, in a new location on New Hampshire Avenue just north of Dupont Circle!

Excited to see New Hampshire Avenue turned into a vibrant destination for the next few weeks.

In an encrypted group chat, National Guard members question Trump deployments As President Trump's call for National Guard deployments rings out across the U.S., a small contingent of Ohio guard members is quietly expressing concern in an encrypted group chat.

You love to see it.

Checked out the @ddotdc.bsky.social Bus Priority open house for Columbia and Harvard Roads last night. The buses on these corridors come right down to our district on Connecticut. Option 2 seems like the best — it will make using these routes much faster when coming to or from 2B01!

Thanks to @ggwash.org for reminding me about #WeekWithoutDriving! Today was a bike>walk>bike>metro>metro>walk kind of day (breakfast>work>Macy's>2B01>Tennis Zone Plus>2B01)

I'm looking forward to the ANC 2B special meetings on September 3rd from 6-8pm, where we'll have the opportunity to vote on a resolution condemning the dangerous and unwarranted use of the military and secret police on our streets.

I was thrilled to see DDOT came out and fixed up the broken sidewalk on the 1700 block of 19th Street, by the Sedgwick. This got resolved l only a couple of weeks after I put in a 311 for it! Before/after:

Earlier this month, I went for a walk around the district and made some 311s. So far, DDOT has fixed the flexpost and pruned the greenery that blocked this sidewalk. I’m tracking this publicly at anc2b01.org/actions.html

I was honored to be sworn in as the commissioner for ANC 2B01 today. Thank you for doing the honors CM Pinto!

What to Know About the Dupont Circle “Deckover” Project - Washingtonian A plan to build a plaza on the Connecticut Avenue underpass will reshape a busy corridor. Some neighbors aren't convinced it's a good idea.

The CT Ave deckover project is going to be transformative. I'm glad construction is underway, and I'll be a resource to help make sure negative impacts of construction (especially to businesses on CT and residents along traffic detours) are mitigated. www.washingtonian.com/2025/06/23/w...
