More construction in Dupont? Yup.

The community's latest renovations have begun on 18th Street between P Street, NW and New Hampshire Avenue, NW.  The road work is part of the 18th Street Reconstruction project to better serve pedestrians and public transportation throughout the neighborhood.

This 18th Street construction is just the latest in a series of upgrades that the District Department of Transportation has ordered for the area.  The project includes:

• Street and sidewalk reconstruction

• Traffic signal and streetlight upgrades

• New crosswalks, bulb-outs and American with Disabilities Act (ADA) safety upgrades

• Landscape and streetscape improvements

This is a multi-phase project, so stay tuned for more information.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- D.C. prosecutors are opposing a request by the man charged in federal intern Chandra Levy's slaying to turn over the names of summoned jurors to his attorneys.

Prosecutors also rejected defendant Ingmar Guandique's argument that D.C. juries have a statistically significant under-representation of Hispanics in a Friday court filing.

Guandique's lawyers had previously asked a judge to give them access to the names of summoned jurors while charging that Hispanics are underrepresented in D.C. juries. Guandique is an illegal immigrant from El Salvador.

But prosecutors maintain that even if the system could be improved, that does not mean the current system excludes Hispanics. They also questioned whether giving the defense access to potential juror names could discourage some people from returning questionnaires.
