Bike ride with Tommy Wells, Candidate for Ward 6 City Council: Along the Future Anacostia Riverwalk Trail

Tommy Wells talking to campaign workers at the Hine School polling site. Primary Election Day, September 12, 2006.

From the campaign:

------
Note that they also have an H Street walk scheduled for tomorrow, at the same time as the Florida Market tour, so I'd rather you come to the Florida Market tour.

I am going to try to attend this bike ride.

I think that DC should create an equivalent of Prince George's County's Anacostia Trails Heritage Area (I am a member) on the DC side, and that these programs could work together--or maybe the Anacostia Waterfront Corporation could reorganize its approach to combine the "community development construction" focus that dominates now, along with a greater emphasis on heritage (which the AWC is addressing at some level).

Meet in the parking lot of THE FISH MARKET on Maine Avenue
SUNDAY, OCT 15 AT 12:30 P.M.

DEPART AT 1 P.M.
ARRIVE AT MARTY’S ON 8TH STREET BY 2 P.M. FOR REFRESHMENTS

The route will go along the Waterfront, past Fort McNair to Buzzard Point, under the South Capitol Street Bridge around the Baseball Stadium site, down M Street past the Navy Yard, and back to Marty's.

Bring your bike, wear a helmet. The route is still a little bumyp, but will be part of the Anacostia Riverwalk Trail in the Future.
