It is critical to ensure that the District invests in our streets so that they are safe and welcoming for everyone, whether whether walking, using a wheelchair, biking, riding the bus, or driving.

During his first term as ANC Commissioner, Kyle has built relationships and helped neighbors engage with agencies and institutions including MPD, Dunbar High School, SOME, and the Deputy Mayor for Health and Human Services to help ensure our neighborhood is a safe, healthy, and welcoming community for all.

Both rent and home prices have soared more than 30% in Truxton Circle over the last five years. Maintaining housing affordability is essential to ensuring our neighborhood remains accessible to lifelong residents as well as new neighbors seeking to establish roots. Read more here.
