Outdoor arena space. A Gallery walk. A night market. These are just a few of the ideas being pitched to revitalize the area around DC's Capital One arena. 

This weekend, the Gallery-Place Chinatown Task Force pitched its “8 Big Ideas” to Mayor Muriel Bowser and residents of the Gallery Place and Chinatown neighborhoods. 

A variety of different concepts and initiatives were outlined on Saturday, including a new Gallery Walk on 8th Street with a pedestrian walkway, a night market for the neighborhood and activating the area outside of Capital One arena. 

The Gallery-Place Chinatown Task Force was formed in January after news came that Monumental Sports & Entertainment planned to move the Wizards and Capitals to a new arena and entertainment campus in Northern Virginia. The task force is moving ahead with presenting the initiatives even though the Alexandria arena is dead. 

The full report can be viewed here.
