  • 900 U Street Northwest Washington, DC, 20001 United States (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

MPD's Third District, including its Outreach and Business Beat teams, will conduct a community walk around 9th and U Streets on Wednesday, April 1, at 5:00 p.m. Community walks are an excellent opportunity for neighbors to interface directly with MPD and to identify areas and trends of concern. Especially with summer approaching, we encourage neighbors to share their local experiences so that District agencies can better tailor their plans on public safety, traffic management, and more.
