Honoring Martin Luther King Jr. Day

Hill Now is closed today in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

All government offices, public schools and city recreation centers are closed.

Metro trains and buses are running on a Saturday schedule, every 12 minutes from endpoint stations. No track work is scheduled, off-peak fares are in effect and parking in Metro lots is free.

Trash and recycling pickup is suspended until Tuesday. Parking meters are not being enforced, but rules about not blocking the H Street streetcar are still in effect.

If you’re free to volunteer in the neighborhood today, here are some options.
