Great photos, dlg569. Thanks for uploading. And, 202_cyclist, thanks again for all your worthwhile and informative postings!

This is probably a good time to mention, once again, the OxBlue webcams for Clark Construction and the CBG Builders Company, a Clark-affiliated entity. The Clark/OxBlue webcams are a great way to follow construction developments not only in the DC region, but around the United States.

As many of you know, Clark Construction is headquartered in Bethesda, MD. It is, and has been for many years, the largest and most active construction firm in the DC region and is now ranked among the biggest in the United States. The founder of the firm, A. James Clark, passed away only three years. A link to an obituary is below.

Georgetown gondola

Life has been busy, so I haven't had an opportunity to post in the past three weeks. Here is a recent op-ed in the Washington Post by the CEO of JBG, Ted Leonsis, owner of the Wizards and Capitals, and Tom Davis, one of the last reasonable Republican members of Congress. This powerful support suggests the Georgetown - Rosslyn gondola isn't just some crazy idea.

Let’s get the Georgetown gondola going

Washington Post

Tom Davis, a Republican from Virginia, was chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. Ted Leonsis is chief executive of Monumental Sports & Entertainment. Matt Kelly is chief executive of JBG Smith.

"Our region came together this year to secure $15 billion in dedicated funding for Metro, the backbone of our regional transportation network. This historic achievement was a result of bold public leadership in response to a clear public need: safe, reliable transit service. It was also a result of advocacy and support from a coalition representing transit riders, employers and employees. They joined forces to ensure that elected officials took critical action to put the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority on a sustainable path. More recent, our region successfully secured Amazon’s commitment for its second headquarters and at least 25,000 jobs. This commitment was facilitated in part by the quality, availability and potential for expansion of our regional transportation infrastructure.

In the District, Metro is one part of our diversified transportation network that includes roads, bridges, sidewalks and trails. To continue to meet a growing demand for city- and region-wide accessibility, we need to make investments that increase the capacity of our transportation systems, allowing our communities to be connected and walkable and our economy to remain vibrant and globally competitive. This means embracing creative solutions and technology and making investments in our transportation infrastructure that are forward-looking and innovative. The Georgetown-Rosslyn gondola is a great example of that type of investment..."

Southwest DC homeless shelter

This is located at Delaware Ave. and I Street, SW. This will provide much-needed shelter and services to homeless families who are part of our community. I took these photos this past week.

Potomac Ave/Hill East

Here are a couple of more photos of the mixed-use Safeway development. I took these photos about ten days ago and a second tower crane (as seen in the photos that dlg569 posted) has been added.

With all of the construction activity, it is not surprising that DC's population continues to grow. This past July, DC officially has more than 700,000 people. In fact, DC now has at least 702,456 residents, as my wife and I welcomed a baby boy into our family in November.

When I first moved to Washington 15 years ago, DC had approximately 520,000 residents, so this is impressive growth. More than 700,000 residents however, are still completely disenfranchised and have absolutely no representation in Congress, despite paying federal taxes, serving on federal juries, and despite DC residents having sacrificed and fought in every war our country has fought.

D.C. Officially Hits 700,000 Residents For The First Time Since 1975

"For the first time in more than 40 years, the District counts over 700,000 residents—one more milestone in the city’s upward population trend.

The city’s official tally (as of July 1, 2018): 702,455 people..."
