FYI: Holiday slide schedule for trash, recycling & food waste collection next week. Escalation teams will continue to pick up missed trash & recycling collections on Monday as needed.

Today the Committee on Public Works & Operations held the first half of the DPW hearing. We had a good convo with residents on snow response, parking enforcement, and the District's Zero Waste plan that will inform our questions for the agency at our hearing at the beginning of March.

I know many of you have experienced missed trash & recycling collections. Here are the latest updates from DPW, in my effort to keep you fully informed with all the facts available to me. brianneknadeau.com/trash-recycl...

The Committee on PW&O was recently handed oversight responsibility for the Alcoholic Beverages and Cannabis Administration. ABCA is doing good work on making info more readily available and making it easier to file complaints – and still has work to do to address concerns.

NEWS: Some D.C. residents say they haven’t gotten their trash picked up in three weeks. The post-storm collection challenges have also tied into some broader concerns with services from the D.C. Department of Public Works, @maustermuhle.bsky.social reports:

Join me for Brianne on Your Block (community office hours) tomorrow morning, Wed, Feb 11, 9-11 at Sankofa Video Books & Cafe, 2714 Georgia Avenue NW. Bring your questions, concerns, or specific issue needing resolution. Registration is encouraged, but not required. brianneknadeau.com/boyb/

My colleagues and I are asking the Mayor to protect human services from additional cuts in her FY27 budget. Past budgets included loss of eligibility for services, elimination of cost-of-living increases & pay cuts for educators. brianneknadeau.com/councilmembe...

In a hearing last week I asked the Dept of Health Care Finance why the xtra $21m I made available for DC Health Care Alliance is not being used for the services we promised to those who cannot get other coverage. I’ll follow up w/the Mayor at next week’s Mayor-Council meeting.

Trash, recycling, and food waste collections have resumed, and Tuesday collections will continue on schedule.

Update: Trash, recycling, and food waste collection will resume on a normal schedule starting tomorrow, Monday, Feb. 2. And this just in: DCPS will open on a 2-hour delay tomorrow. brianneknadeau.com/trash-recycl...

The Mt Pleasant Library is closed for the remainder of the day (Saturday, Jan. 31) due to low temperatures inside the building. @dcpubliclibrary.bsky.social

Health care access is a basic right, and Alliance is a critical program serving some of our most vulnerable residents.

The Snow Emergency has been extended to Friday, Jan 30 at 9:30 am. Please do not park on Snow Emergency Routes. Continue to report unplowed streets to 311 and to our office so we can work with DPW to get resources where they are needed.

I know that residents are frustrated as we dig out from this challenging storm. Where my colleagues and I have been most vocal with the Mayor's team is the lack of clear communication to the public about what to expect. 🧵 brianneknadeau.com/snow-update/

DC DPW update: No household trash, recycling or food waste collection on Wednesday.

There’s no silver bullet to our housing crisis but updating our bldg code allows for more, larger, & more livable family-size units at lower cost. Modernizing our code as NYC, Seattle, and other cities have done allows more housing for the same amount of space. brianneknadeau.com/same-space-m...

DC, everyone should have heat on days like today! ❄️ If you're a renter and your heat is out, submit a maintenance request and call our free Consumer Protection hotline at 202-442-9828. We can also help if any of your utilities are disconnected, and the utilities are the landlord’s responsibility.

The Wilson Building and physical Office of Brianne K. Nadeau is closed today. But we are working, answering the phones and responding to email. If you have an unplowed road to report, please call 311 first.

Thank you DC Snow Team & DC DPW! Please continue to give crews space to work this evening.

UPDATE: Metro Rail is now operating reduced Sun service. Bus service is changing hourly due to weather & travel challenges for operators reporting to work. Tomorrow, rail will run on a Sun schedule. Bus plans continue to evolve. Details + Access info ➡️ wmata.com/about/news/M...

The DC Snow Team is moving along with snow and slush removal on streets, bike lanes, and trails as sleet and rain continue. Stay off the roads if travel isn’t necessary, give plows space, and watch for residual slushy spots.

DC residents: As snow changes to sleet, conditions can become heavier and more hazardous. If it’s safe during a break in precipitation, clearing sidewalks early can help before refreezing. Place snow in no parking areas—not walkways or bike lanes.

DC tenants, heat is your right. Landlords must maintain at least 68°F in habitable rooms. If your heat isn’t working, contact your landlord ASAP. Need further assistance? 📞 Call 311 🌐 311.dc.gov

Thank you to our DPW crews! Track plows here: citizeninsights.geotab.com#/dcsnowgov

As the day goes on, we encourage customers to limit trips to essential travel due to the severity of the forecast. If you must travel, use extra caution when entering or exiting stations and using escalators. Stay tuned to wmata.com/snow for the latest bus impacts.

What’s happening in Minneapolis is terrifying and could easily happen anywhere. Present-day Brownshirts are conducting government-sanctioned killings of U.S. citizens, provoking confrontation to justify what comes next. It could not be a more dangerous time for America.

Today we broke ground on the Geneva, an office-to-residential conversion delivering 532 new homes - including 60 permanently affordable units - in Ward 1. It's not only the largest conversion project in DC history, but also the largest PACE deal for green energy financing in the country's history.

MPD's letter is a complete nonresponse. It’s clear that the Bowser administration just does not plan to answer any of the questions we’re asking, is not planning to be responsive to public concerns on these issues and is not planning to change course. 1/2 www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

I’m devastated by the passing of Matthew McCullough, Director of the Office of Disability Rights. He was kind, funny, incredibly smart and deeply dedicated to protecting the rights of people with disabilities. My condolences to his beloved wife, and all his friends and family.

1/ Like many of you, I am grieving the senseless death of Renee Good in Minneapolis at the hands of an ICE agent on Wednesday. It could have easily happened here and it still could. The Mayor must stop all cooperation by MPD with fed immigration enforcement. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

A new report from the Committee on Public Works & Operations, which I chair, calls on the Mayor and interim police chief to rescind two orders that allow D.C. police to cooperate with federal law enforcement on immigration. brianneknadeau.com/report-resci...

Today Council will vote on my bill to ensure that @wmata.com has the staff it needs to keep our city running. The bill encourages residency and homeownership in DC by giving transit workers the same home down payment assistance DC government employees get. lims.dccouncil.gov/Legislation/...

Biz Journal on Councilmember Nadeau’s legislation: “D.C. bill would empower mayor to push zoning changes if housing production targets fall short”. Requires Mayor to set targets every 5 years and focus on areas of the city that fall short. Paywall: www.bizjournals.com/washington/n...

Quite the holiday gift! In particular it means we can preserve Alliance health care for residents who are not eligible for Medicaid. It also funds a law I helped introduce that establishes rules around amplified sound levels for street performance while protecting performers from excess enforcement.

2025 has been a tough year for District residents. But like always, we’ve gotten through it by sticking together and supporting one another. As we head into the break, I want to wish you and your loved ones a truly happy holiday season. Looking forward to putting 2025 in our rear view. On to 2026!

We're hiring! Come join our team and serve the residents and small businesses of Ward 1 as a constituent services specialist. brianneknadeau.com/job-opening-...

My bill, heard by the Health Committee this week, would expand the substance use disorder outreach pilot currently serving Wards 1, 5, 6, 7 & 8. The program led to a 51% decrease in nonfatal overdoses in the 500 block of T Street NW in less than a year. How? 🧵 brianneknadeau.com/substance-us...
