The company plans to add about 10 miles of underground transmission cable, replace aging infrastructure and equipment, and construct a new substation in Mount Vernon Triangle, resulting in faster service restoration when problems occur and an improved ability to accommodate locally generated solar power. District work will be completed by 2021. The Public Service Commission must review the project, with certain aspects also subject to approval of the Board of Zoning Adjustment.

■ commissioners unanimously supported plans for four works of art by Betsabeé Romero in the New York Avenue NW median strip between 12th and 13th streets.

The art, based on tires, will be there for two years; it will then be replaced by another art project.
■ commissioners unanimously supported plans for the 5K Race for Every Child on Saturday, Oct. 21. About 5,000 participants are expected. The event will begin at Freedom Plaza and benefit Children’s National Medical Center.
■ commissioners unanimously supported a liquor license application for an Indian restaurant with 112 inside seats and up to 30 outside at 611 I St. NW.
