- Bells & Whistles. Next event is scheduled for Saturday, Oct 27, 2018.
- CCCT brochure boxes. Some brochure boxes need to be replaced; the replacements should have a clear plastic front so the brochure can be seen, yet protected from the elements.
- New gate and bike lanes. The new gate and bike lanes at K St. & Water St. in Georgetown have been completed. The change will be evaluated in a month by the ANC2, and other official groups involved in the planning for these changes.
- Storage unit. Materials are being transferred to the new unit, old shelving is being tossed.
- CC Trail crossing at Little Falls Parkway. Lynn Balzer-Martin reported that the public mostly wants one lane in each direction to stay closed permanently, and a speed table.
