Update: Trash receptacle needed on East Side of 7th St NE/7th St Sidewalk repair has been reported to Bozzuto

The Bozzuto Construction Office Park entrance/sidewalk intersection has been repaired on 7th ST (East Side).
Repairs were completed on 01/30/2012.

Trash receptacle is still needed on G8 Metro bus stop (North Bound), but Catholic University of America Facilities staff assisted 5C10 by emptying the pet waste receptacle filled with trash and replaced the liner. 
Thank you CUA Facilities!

Trash receptacle needed on East Side of 7th St NE/7th St Sidewalk repair has been reported to Bozzuto

There have been many complaints about the safety of the sidewalk/parking log intersection entrance into the "Bozzuto Construction Office Park".  Kelly Wallace, Construction Manager of the Monroe Street Market Project (MSM) has shared with me that arrangements have been made to pave the entrance with concrete no later than this week. 

The request for a large waste bin on the east side of 7th Street near the G8 Bus stop (Northbound) has been placed with 311 Service Center.  As you can see, the dog waste receptacle, which was moved from the 3600 block of 7th NE (between Michigan and Monroe) has been moved to the 3400 block of 7th St.  Pedestrians are using this receptacle to discard their trash, which is now overflowing.  I have place a request for DPW to schedule regular pickup.

Monroe Street Market Project will commence on 11/28/2011

Starting Monday, November 28^th, Bozzuto will create their presence in the neighborhood commencing the Monroe St Market Project. Preparation of construction trailers will start immediately on 7^th and Monroe St NE.

• Work Schedule: Monday – Saturday 7am – 5pm. Saturday is considered a make-up day if work was halted during the week
• Delivery Schedule: Monday – Saturday 7am – 5pm. Bozzuto has communicated with subcontractors that idling is not permitted. Penalization will take place if caught.
• Waste Disposal: Monday – Saturday 7am – 5pm
  The community will be updated periodically on the progress of the project via website http://monroestreetmarket.wordpress.com/current-work-at-a-glance-2/. Truck traffic routes, street/sidewalk closures and more can be tracked. In addition, updates will be displayed via weather safe message board on Monroe St NE and 7^th St NE.
