Even Shadow Senator Paul Strauss had a car in the parade. And a classic one, to boot.

If you noticed that traffic was reduced to one lane in each direction on Connecticut Ave. NW today, be prepared for more of the same as the week continues. The DC Water and Sewer Authority is performing test pitting utility work between Calvert and Cathedral Streets, and the lane restrictions will continue in that area at least through Wednesday, November 25, with work resuming on November 30 if more time is needed to complete the project. WASA will limit its work to between the hours of 9:30 a.m. and 3 p.m. each day, so it shouldn’t affect rush hour too much, but the closures also mean there will be no on-street parking available in those blocks at those times, according to DDOT.
