Letter to Frank J. Larkin, Chair of the Capitol Police Board - Sledding at the Capitol

Letter

Date: March 4, 2015
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Arts, Entertainment, and History

Dear Sergeant At Arms Larkin:

As you are aware, I wrote you last week requesting that the Capitol Police Board remove the ban on sledding on U.S. Capitol Grounds from Capitol Police Board Regulations. However, the District of Columbia is expected to receive seven to eight inches of snow tomorrow, the largest snowfall this winter. Families have started calling my office because they do not want to be turned away once again from sledding on U.S. Capitol Grounds. Therefore, I am requesting a waiver of the sledding ban effective from Thursday, March 5, 2015, through Sunday, March 8, 2015, so that children, parents, residents and visitors to the nation's capital can sled on U.S. Capitol Grounds, one of the best hills in D.C. for sledding. Pending further review by the Capitol Police Board of my recent letter, we seek this immediate waiver in light of the upcoming snow.

Sincerely,

Eleanor Holmes Norton
