They also had a few photo ops of installing “No Turn on Red” signs for the cars travelling from 1st to Mass Ave NE. However, nobody stuck around long enough to enforce it, so there’s that.

someone missed a golden opportunity for a video with the dignitaries hanging the sign followed by a time-warped view of the intersection for the rest of the day.

You didn’t even need the rest of the day – a few minutes after the dignitaries and accompanying staff/officers/etc. had left, while a few of us bike people were chatting, cars/buses were blowing through the new signs w/o stopping.
