3rd & H to reopen to pedestrian & vehicular traffic today thanks to streetcar construction progress

Intersection of 3rd Street NE and H Street NE Will Reopen to Vehicular and Pedestrian Traffic

On Monday, February 10, 2014, the intersection of 3rd Street NE and H Street NE will reopen to pedestrian and vehicular traffic; weather permitting. All pre-existing 3rd Street NE detours and turn restrictions will be lifted and all lanes in both directions will be open.

All turning movements allowed before the closure of 3rd Street NE will be restored.

Crosswalks at 3rd Street NE and H Street NE will be reopened and pedestrians will be able to cross in all directions. A temporary crosswalk is still in place at the top of the Hopscotch Bridge for pedestrian access to Union Station. Pedestrians are advised that the south sidewalk on Hopscotch Bridge adjacent to the Plaza Place development is currently closed due to construction unrelated to the DC Streetcar project.

Traffic signals will be restored to normal patterns and the flashing yellow signals turned off. Once the streetcar is fully operational, a dedicated streetcar signal will control streetcar traffic through the intersection. All traffic should continue following the traffic signals at all times.

The westbound X2 bus stop that was moved from 3rd Street to 4th Street will remain until further notice.

Randall Scott Projects (1326 H St) presents Venice from Chris Anthony through 2/22

RandallScottProjects is pleased to announce our next exhibition by Los Angeles based photographer, Chris Anthony  “Venice” continuing through February 22nd. 

 

 Chris Anthony's Venice Series continues his exploration into the photograph as open-ended narrative. As in his earlier work, specifically the Victims and Avengers series, Anthony crafts a scene, similar to a stage production, where the viewer is given the actor and a selection of props. Relationships are made within the scene and a "play" develops in which the viewer becomes the playwright.
 

 In the Venice Series, Anthony exchanges the traditional notion of a wooded stage and painted backdrop for the shoreline and sky. His players perform in the water, just out of reach of the incoming waves. They interact and execute various actions: ride a bicycle, play an instrument, sweep the water with a broom, all without concern of their environment. Anthony's underlying theme is a society that has developed in and on water. Venice, carrying a double meaning calling reference to Venice, Italy and Venice Beach, California, where the series was photographed.

 

 Anthony's images are playful and often incorporate a solitary figure. His subtle usage of color contrasts the painterly greyness of a background sky and sea. Swashes of bright reds and yellows are worn by his subjects. Anthony styles his characters in a manner of dress that crosses the boundary of retro-uniform fashion, somewhat post-apocalyptic in design, yet akin to a futuristic fashion layout. 

 Chris Anthony was born in Sweden and now lives and works in Los Angeles. He is a filmmaker and photographer. His current book, Seas Without a Shore was released in 2013.
