The Penguin’s drawing for tickets to see “Picasso at the Lapin Agile” ends Tuesday night. And no, it’s not that kind of drawing.

Click here if you want in on the game. Otherwise, take in some of the week’s other acts:

Monday

9:30 a.m. The county council’s economic-development committee discusses a proposal that would allow commercially zoned properties near transit hubs to throw a little residential sumpin’ sumpin’ into the mix. The flap goes down at the county council office building (100 Maryland Ave, Rockville) and is open to the public.

2.30 p.m. The county council’s transportation committee tosses around a $16.7 million appropriation towards the construction of Silver Spring’s transit center. The free show hits the county council office building (100 Maryland Ave, Rockville) and is open to the public.

7:00 p.m. Silver Spring’s neighborhoods committee talks about, well, neighborhoods at the Silver Spring Regional Center (8435 Georgia Ave). The meeting and air conditioning are free and open to the public.

Tuesday

10:40 a.m. The full county council decides the fate of a $16.7 million appropriation for Silver Spring’s planned transit center. The vote hits the county council office building (100 Maryland Ave, Rockville) and is open to the public.

Wednesday

10:00 p.m. Expect a detour on Dixon Avenue and Bonifant Street in the Ripley District while crews repave the roadways. The heavy lifting goes down overnight until 5:00 a.m., but some work could spill over into daylight.

Thursday

9:00 a.m. The planning board puts the county’s housing policy through the wringer. But keep your letters and speeches on ice — no public testimony will be taken during this work session. Hit it at planning board headquarters (8787 Georgia Ave).

10:00 a.m. Developers of a residential project at Bonifant Street near Georgia Avenue holler at the county planning board for a deadline extension on its project-plan review. The board hears ‘em out at planning board headquarters (8787 Georgia Ave). As always, the show is free and open to the public.

10:30 a.m. The county council’s public safety committee mulls over the imposition of ambulance fees. The deep thought rocks the county council office building (100 Maryland Ave, Rockville) and is open to the public.

10:00 p.m. The repaving continues on Dixon Avenue and Bonifant Street in the Ripley District. The heavy lifting goes down overnight until 5:00 a.m., but some work could spill over into daylight.
