Committee Approves Bill Opening Streets to People + Improving Seniors’ Access to Parking
Today, DC Councilmember Charles Allen (Ward 6) led the Council’s Committee on Transportation and the Environment to advance an omnibus bill that would create three new pedestrian plazas around the District where the streets could be closed for 24 hours over the course of a week, and perhaps permanently if the change proves successful and popular.

Councilmember Allen Introduces Bill to Create Youth Climate Council, Giving Young People a Greater Voice on Local Climate Policy
Councilmember Charles Allen (Ward 6) is introducing legislation today to create a Youth Climate Council to raise the urgency of and improve the District’s planning for climate change.
Councilmember Allen Introduces Bill to Prioritize Youth Sports Leagues with Permits and Field Access
Councilmember Charles Allen (Ward 6) is introducing legislation today to make it easier for youth sports leagues to secure permits for games and practices on DC-owned fields, recognizing leagues are squeezing two or three teams onto one field on weeknights regularly and struggling to reschedule rainouts. This means the kids participating have a subpar experience and families leave the leagues or youth sports in the District altogether, undermining a popular experience many DC families want to give their children.
