25+ min ago (397+ words) The D.C. Department of Transportation is rolling out a new set of regulations and new costs for restaurants that want to hold on to their outdoor space. Streateries were once a critical lifeline, helping restaurants stay afloat during the pandemic. Five years later, many remain fixtures in their neighborhoods and still generate much-needed revenue. "They're going to charge us extra for that, and we can't afford it," said Raja Shaukat, who owns La Grotta in Adams Morgan. Shaukat says restaurants are already struggling to make ends meet. When News4 visited, his dining room was empty, and he says business has been slow. Under the updated streatery rules, restaurants would face a new $260 permit fee plus $20 per square foot, and they'd be responsible for buying their own jersey barriers.

After going 7-2 at home last season, the Commanders entered Week 13 2-3 this year with three more tries to get it right in front of the local crowd, including Sunday night's battle against the Denver Broncos.

After falling in overtime to the AFC West Division leaders, it's clear that while this team is certainly fighting to the very end, there's still work to be…...
