In recognition of Infrastructure Week, Mayor Muriel Bowser will host events throughout the week that highlight infrastructure projects and initiatives that will create a stronger, more resilient, connected, and equitable DC.
- On Monday, Mayor Bowser will visit Potomac Gardens with Chief Technology Officer Lindsey Parker and other tech and community leaders to announce a new initiative that will build on the Biden-Harris Administration’s efforts to increase access to affordable, high-speed internet.
- On Wednesday, Mayor Bowser will welcome Mitch Landrieu, former Mayor of New Orleans and current White House Infrastructure Coordinator, and members of the DC Build Back Better Infrastructure Task Force to visit a DC Water lead pipe replacement project to highlight the important work supported through President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. Afterwards, Mayor Bowser will lead a community walk across a section of Interstate 295 to highlight the importance of reconnecting communities once divided by highways. Immediately following the walk, Mayor Bowser will host a ceremonial bond signing for the DC Smart Lighting Project. Later, the Mayor will attend the District of Columbia Building Industry Association annual awards ceremony.
- On Thursday, Mayor Bowser will celebrate new housing and amenities along the Anacostia River with a groundbreaking for The Stacks and Bridge District as well as a sneak preview of the Sandlot Anacostia.
- On Friday, Mayor Bowser will celebrate the Business Improvement District’s (BID) annual Bike to Work Day by leading a bike ride with community members and speaking at the Franklin Park pit stop, the District’s largest Bike to Work Day pit stop.
- On Saturday, Mayor Bowser will join residents for the District’s first Open Streets event in Ward 8.
In March, Mayor Bowser announced the creation of the DC Build Back Better Infrastructure Task Force, which will advise on priority projects to be funded through President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. The Task Force is made up of experts from District agencies and external partners who will ensure the District’s effectiveness in securing and deploying federal dollars while creating projects that will impact residents across the District and generations of Washingtonians to come.
