The Capitol Hill BID's 2016 Annual Report made its debut at our Annual Meeting in February. If you weren't lucky enough to snag a copy, you can view the report online here.
As we've done in past years, the BID is "Going Green" for our Annual Report mailing. Owners and tenants will receive a postcard with a link to the Annual Report.
By posting the report digitally, we spend less of your tax dollars on printing and help the environment at the same time. Enjoy, and thank you for helping us make 2016 a historic year for the BID!

Click here for a list and map of road closures that will take place in Capitol Hill. Most road closures and detours will be in effect between the hours of 6:30 am and 3:00 pm. The race begins at 7:00 am, and streets will reopen on a rolling basis as soon as the last participant has passed and all course support materials have been removed. Streets along the earlier miles of the route will open earlier than roads along the end of the route.
Please review the road closure grid, freeway ramp closure grid and course map for more information. Residents and businesses located near the race course are urged to plan ahead and to be aware of road closure schedules and alternate access routes.
