Better Management of Dockless Bikes & Scooters for Clear & Safe Sidewalks: Geofenced parking hubs are designated places where shared dockless bikes and scooters (i.e., micro mobility) must be parked before a ride can end. In Georgetown, placing these hubs at street level would keep devices off narrow, historic sidewalks and give riders a place to park without entering pedestrian space. The in-app technology already exists: Lime uses mandatory parking zones in Paris and London, and shows riders where to park in the app and will even reroute riders if a parking hub is full by directing them to the nearest available parking hub. Bringing street-level hubs to Georgetown would keep devices off of sidewalks. It’s time to hold micro mobility companies and riders more accountable. Let’s bring street level geo-fenced micro mobility parking hubs to Georgetown and restore sidewalk safety for pedestrians.

Public Spaces: Georgetown’s public spaces deserve the same care as its historic buildings. I’ll work with neighbors, community organizations, businesses, and DC agencies to improve routine cleaning, timely trash pickup, and upkeep of sidewalks, parks and streetscapes. Repairs and new features should meet Georgetown’s historic standards so our shared spaces are clean, welcoming, and true to the character of the historic standards that protect Georgetown’s historic district and National Historic Landmark designation.

Resident Only Parking: I’ll work with ANC2E and DDOT to identify Georgetown streets where parking pressure is greatest and ask DDOT to evaluate resident-only parking on qualifying blocks. Changes should be guided by residents, backed by parking date, and planned with Georgetown streets and residents in mind.

Rat and Trash Abatement: It will take a coordinated, community-wide effort. I would work with the Citizens Association of Georgetown (CAG), residents, Georgetown University, and local businesses to develop practical strategies, while engaging DC agencies to provide the services and support we need. Rats and trash are a citywide problem, but effective solutions for Georgetown must begin within our own community, led by residents and local businesses. The fight starts close to home. Together, let’s take on the rats and clean up Georgetown.

Thoughtful Historic Preservation: Georgetown’s historic buildings, streets, and public spaces tell the story of our village and the people who shaped it. Preserving that heritage matters because once it is lost, we cannot recreate it. I support thoughtful preservation and will approach development and zoning proposals with care, listening to neighbors, considering their impact on daily life, and protecting the historic character that makes Georgetown distinctive.

Congested Residential Streets: It’s time to re-engage DDOT on how traffic moves through Georgetown’s residential streets. Some blocks are so congested that they can become nearly impassable—28th Street is one example. Rush-hour cut-throughs add to the pressure on streets never designed for heavy traffic. Residents need an honest conversation about one-way streets: where they might help, what tradeoffs they would bring, and how they would affect nearby blocks. I’ll push for a review of traffic patterns and stronger controls, guided by data and the residents most affected.
