Shaw Development Projects on Agenda for ANC 2C01 Community Forum, 06/30/04
The next ANC 2C01 Community Forum will be held on Wednesday, June 30, 2004, at 7:00 PM at the Watha T. Daniel/Shaw Neighborhood Library, 1701 8th Street, NW, Room 1. The focus of the meeting is "Latest Plans for Shaw: Are You For or Against Them?"
The agenda for the meeting is as follows:
Are They Going to Tear Down Seaton Elementary to Build Condos?
DC Public Schools is considering a proposal from Shiloh Baptist Church and Clark Realty to demolish Seaton Elementary School and build new residential buildings on Rhode Island Avenue and a new school on P Street, eliminating the playing field behind the school and the environmental laboratory used by the students, located on some of Shaw’s very limited green space. Should they do this? Here's your chance to hear preliminary plans and let school officials know what you think. Special Guests: Julie Mikuta, District 1 School Board Representative, and officials from DCPS Facilities Management.
Are They Going to Tear Down Watha T. Daniel Library Instead of Renovating It?
The plans were to renovate Shaw’s neighborhood library, but instead, the library administration is considering demolishing the building and replacing it with one that’s 10,000 square feet smaller. The building is now 24,000 square feet, a size that is appropriate to support the increased population that will result from new development in the area. Hear more about the controversy and find out what you can do to help stop this from happening.
What are They Planning for the O Street Market and Giant Store?
A major new $100 million development would transform the two blocks between 7th, 9th, O and P Streets, with a new Giant store incorporating the historic O Street Market, over 400 new apartments and condos, as many as 700 underground parking spaces, and additional retail, to be completed by 2009. Come hear and see the latest plans and provide your input. Special Guests: Alveraze F. Gonsouland and Armond Spikell, principals, Roadside Development.
Please share this notice with friends and neighbors who may be interested. I look forward to seeing you at the meeting.

Subject: 5D CAC Meeting
Mr. Berry,
This message concerns our upcoming 5D CAC meeting on Thursday.
Some of the members of the Bates Area Civic Association had questions about response times for calls for service and how calls are prioritized and dispatched, so I've asked Commander Greene to invite Capt. Crane to speak on the subject. Residents in several citizen groups wanted to learn more about how to get the most from the Mayor's Call Center (727-1000), hence Todd Douglas has agreed to speak at the 5D CAC. The Commander would like citizens to take a more in-depth look at police operations through a Citizens Academy. Can you share the following announcement with your e-mail group?
Fifth District Citizens Advisory Council Monthly Meeting

comments about his prelimary plans to move that group on matters of
public
safety. In addition, Alice Harper, the Community Relations Specialist
from
the Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency who is assiged to
cover
the Fifth Dstrict, plans to make some comments about the history of her
agency's work with the MPD and the Fifth District community. Inasmuch
as
the summer is rapidly approaching, Lionel Taylor, Ward Five Coordinator

the DC Department of Parks and Recreation, wants to let you know about

And, consistent with our intention to have each of the candidates for

November 2004 election, Candidate Kwame Brown has been invited to

events
on his schedule for the date of our meeting when the invitation was
initially extended to him. So, he was invited with the understanding
that
we would invite him again next month, if it turns out that delays from
his
pre-existing commitments, essentially, prevents him from coming to our

In addition to the above, we have a Flower Power update and other
announcements of importance. So, we hope to see you tonight!
Best,
JB
