You’re walking through the neighborhood and notice a streetlight out or graffiti on a building wall – who do you call to get it taken care of? At my ANC Commissioner orientation in early 2013, the District Department of Transportation provided a great handout on which DC agency is responsible for maintenance of certain parts of our neighborhood infrastructure.
Though specific issues may require finding the right person at these agencies, your best bet is to call 311 or download the 311 app on your smartphone. Uploading pictures through the app seems to get the issue to the front of the line.
The new ANC Transportation and Public Infrastructure Committee, which I chair, will help to coordinate a
neighborhood-wide response to common issues such as sidewalk conditions, trash and beautification. There’s still a chance to put your name in for appointment to that committee, which the ANC will vote on at our April 9th meeting.
As always, if you notice something awry in the neighborhood, you can send me an email and I’ll be happy to find the right person to address it.
