D.C. residents could seek street closures for free neighborhood festivals

D.C. residents could apply for street closures, and District policy would call for approving porchfests. Residents could request closures on their own street for neighborhood music festivals with performances on residents’ private property or adjoining public property. Participants and attendees could not be charged a fee. Applying would not guarantee a permit. The act would take effect after mayoral approval or a veto override and a 30-day congressional review, then expire 225 days later.
