Richard Livingstone, formerly Mayor Muriel Bowser’s liaison to Ward 2, was given a Community Commendation on Sept. 5 by the Georgetown-Burleith Advisory Neighborhood Commission for his work here. ANC Chair Joe Gibbons praisedLivingstone and called him “the ninth ANC 2E commissioner.”
Commissioner Zac Schroepfer said people are talking about ways to make the green space south of Georgetown University’s Lauinger Library, at the corner of Prospect Street and St. Mary’s Place, more of a real park, with such things as picnic tables and seats. The government land is controlled by the National Park Service.
Developer Robert Elliott, owner of Georgetown Court, the complex of restaurants, shops, residences and offices at 3251 Prospect St. NW, faced criticism from ANC 2E and the Citizens Association of Georgetown for the massing and height of his proposed four-story residential building at 3255-59 Prospect St. NW. The land isnow occupied by a Domino’s Pizza and its parking lot. Elliott LLC has hired architects Noritake Associates of Alexandria, Virginia, for the project.
