‘Maestro’ of Georgetown intersection may be honored

A beloved Georgetown resident and Metropolitan Police Department reserve officer who was killed in the line of duty two years ago may have one of the city’s most chaotic intersections named in his memory.

The D.C. Council is considering a bill to honor Joe Pozell, dubbed a “maestro” for his adept control of the madness that is Wisconsin and M streets Northwest, by ceremonially renaming the intersection “Joe Pozell Square.” The legislation, introduced by Ward 2 Council Member Jack Evans, is expected to pass quickly and unanimously.
