Hey neighbors -

I’m spending way more time in the alley since we got a puppy and noticing more than ever the number of cars that speed through our alley. ?

I’d like to get some traffic calming measure in place to force cars to slow down.

I wrote our ANC rep Steve Holtzman (see below) — if you are interested in doing something as well, can you also email Steve? ?(And maybe copy me and/or just let me know you also emailed him?)?

There is a DDOT meeting on Wednesday night apparently so if any one has time to send Steve a quick email before then expressing similar concerns, that’d be great.?

I’ll get some pics of the alley tomorrow!?

Thanks for your help and support!?

Hi Martha,

?? I'll hook up with DDOT and see what can be done. They may be a little preoccupied this week so it may take a few days.

It would be helpful if I could get emails from a few other neighbors around the alley asking for something to be done. Do you think you could reach out and facilitate that happening. Multiple resident emails, all flagging the same thing seems to increase likelihood of getting something done. The sooner I get them the better. The ANC transport committee meets this wed. nite which might be helpful in a number of ways. If you could ask some others to send me? some quick emails before then, it would be useful.

?? I may come back to you and suggest filling out and submitting a form that DDOT uses for reviewing these things. I'll let you know after i've talked to DdOT folk.

????? Best,

????? Steve. 6b05

Hey Steve -

Thanks for all the work you do for our neighborhood, much appreciated.

Wondered if you could help us with a traffic calming solution for our alley on the 200 block of 10th and 11th St SE, C St to the south (with 2 entries) and Independence on the north side.

Right in the middle of the alley - what would be Gessford Court if it kept going - we hav people speeding through to go from 10th to 11th street and vice versa.

We all use our alley daily - in addition to the tons of construction vehicles in and out during the day - our kids and dogs congregate and play back their daily.

Last night on Halloween we had TWO vehicles speed thru at dusk and we are so lucky no one got run over.

I’ve noticed several new traffic calming barriers on the North side of the hill -

Can you help us get this going - I have no idea what steps one would take.

Thanks so much for your help!

And hope you are staying safe and sane!
