🚧14th Avenue Reconstruction Update🚧

The 14 Avenue over 14 Street NW Bridge Rehabilitation Project is progressing well, with finishing work underway and intersection paving planned for September.

📅 September 8 – East Intersection Paving
The east intersection will be paved overnight. The bridge will be closed to traffic from 9:00 p.m. on September 8 until 5:00 a.m. on September 9.

📅 September 10–14 – North Half Deck Grooving
Deck grooving will take place on the north half of the bridge. Eastbound traffic will be maintained continuously.

📅 September 15 – Work Zone Shift
The work zone will shift from the north side to the south side of the bridge to prepare for the second phase.

📅 September 16–18 – South Half Deck Grooving
Deck grooving will continue on the south half of the bridge, with continuous eastbound traffic maintained.

🚧 West Intersection
The west intersection work is still being planned. Potential subgrade repairs may be required before the final pavement can be placed, which will likely require an additional closure.

The timing and duration have not yet been confirmed. Further updates will be provided once details are available.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as this important rehabilitation work continues. Please reach out with any questions or concerns.

HHBH CA June Let's Talk: The Value of Casual Connections

Hi everyone,

Next Tuesday, June 9, is our next ‘Let’s talk …’ gathering. I’m pitching the idea of the power of casual connections. Whether this is the letter carrier, the doggie walkers who show up like clockwork starting at 7:45 AM on my street, the kiddie parade on the way to school as they pass by my East window and ‘check’ to see if I am looking for them, or the Saturday coffee barista who knows my name, these connections or ‘weak ties,’ give rhythm, pattern, and the warmth of a friendly connection. They provide an anchor in the world and a sense of community. They are enormously important to our well bring!

Mark Granovetter wrote about the importance of these ties and coined the term ‘weak ties.’

And you never know when this connection could be a game changer … someone notices something is ‘not right’ and follows through.

Map out the connections you have and bring them on Tuesday to share.

I hope to see you then!

Let’s talk … May 12, 2026

Our monthly ‘Let’s talk …’ session is on for next Tuesday, May 12, 2026. Our topic will be ‘setting goals’. Setting goals provides focus and direction in life, keeps us motivated and gives us a sense of self mastery. You can track progress, and when you have reached a goal you have set for yourself, you get to celebrate!

Our goals can be as simple as getting more exercise and becoming fit; or as lofty and ambitious as Malala Yousafzai’s fight for girls’ education in Pakistan. Her efforts were recognized with the Nobel Peace Prize (2014).

Join us next Tuesday in the HHBH Community Hall for a conversation about the importance of setting goals and ways of staying ‘on track’. These can be stories of personal goals, or public and farther-reaching goals that we can learn from.

Doors open at 1:30. We’ll start at 2:00.
