Mount Pleasant DC Forum

The ANC will hold another special public meeting, on Monday, January 23, 7 pm, La Casa. This meeting will deal specifically with the matter of the Bestway Public Space application.

The first two meetings of this month, on January 3 and January 11, included a great deal of public commentary on the Bestway proposal. That proposal has already been significantly modified as a result of discussions between the Bestway representatives and the neighborhood. Now we await assessments of the proposal from Historic Mount Pleasant, and Mount Pleasant Main Street, before we on the ANC come to a decision on the matter.

It's not at all clear how the ANC will vote on this issue, contrary to some public perception. I would guess that two of the four votes are set, and maybe a third. The rest are still weighing the pros and cons, and we won't know how this comes out until the evening of January 23.
