[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dc is gorgeous. I’d do a few things:

— plant even more trees to increase shade in less well off areas. Eliminate concrete jungle feeling downtown… will also help freshen the air.
— I’m all for more security on metro and on buses. Teens at school dismissal can be extremely rough and fights break out.  They made a huge mistake redoing the bus lines in my opinion. There are fewer, less convenient stops and more infrequent service. And if money was no object— make buses free.
— no camping/sleeping in or near libraries and playgrounds. Have a shuttle that bounces people to homeless shelters, and regularly picks homeless off the street. 
- spray for mosquitos! 
- rat abatement 
- crack down on slumlords/abandoned property
-eliminate food trucks at the national mall

What's wrong with food trucks at the National Mall?  Do they attract pests because tourists/patrons don't clean up after themselves?  Is it another issue?  We don't really use the food trucks other than an occasional ice cream treat, but I am not bothered by them.[/quote]

Food trucks are illegal at the mall. The ones that sell undrinkable bubble tea and chemical ice cream for $15 without posting their prices because tourists don't think to ask before handing over their credit card make a few sales and then jet to a new location on the mall before police come. We saw one driver get patted down and taken away in handcuffs once. There should be a system for licensing proper vendors who have to display their prices. [/quote]
