3. Mayor Bowser announced that Slow Streets will be introduced in DC. Stretches of roads, one in each ward, will be blocked off for local traffic only and the speed limit reduced to 15mph, giving residents more space for socially distant recreation. This starts with five miles of slow streets this week, and eventually will be up to 20 miles. (The linked NPR article has details on the slow street locations.)
