Issue Position: Lights Coming to Sherman Circle

Issue Position

In an effort to ensure the safety of all city parks under the jurisdiction of the National Park Service (NPS), Norton met with D.C. Councilmember Muriel Bowser (D-Ward 4), the NPS, the U.S. Park Police, the Metropolitan Police Department and other officials in August following a visit to the site of a homicide near Sherman Circle Park. Norton has submitted a request to NPS Director Jonathan Jarvis for $452,000 from the Statutory Aid Account to install lights in Sherman Circle, which has none, similar to those at nearby, well-lighted Grant Circle.
