Yahoo block group shutting down soon
Hello neighbors,
As many of you probably know yahoo is shutting down its yahoo group function in December (14?).? I started this group around when Ian was born to stay connected with our block and alley neighbors. It¡¯s definitely been useful over the years and I¡¯ve appreciated having it. But it is barely used now and certainly for us less relevant for kid related things. So I¡¯m going to call it quits and not attempt to transfer it to a new listserve group platform.? If anyone does have any interest in seeing the 200 11th st SE block group continue let me know and I can make you the manager before it¡¯s too late. I know that others have been transitioning their yahoo groups to other group platforms successfully.? It¡¯s been a good run. Signing off. Antonia? 219 11th street? |

Anyone who came to East Capitol St on Halloween Eve, please give quick feedback on how the lights,street closures worked
fyi ----- Forwarded Message ----- From: Holtzman, Steve (SMD 6B05) <6b05@...> To: Holtzman, Steve (SMD 6B05) <6b05@...> Sent: Sunday, November 3, 2019, 12:23:06 AM EDT Subject: Anyone who came to East Capitol St on Halloween Eve, please give quick feedback on how the lights,street closures worked
Hi All,
? Anyone who walked around 8th,9th and 10th & East Capitol St on Halloween....it would be really valuable to get your feedback while it's still fresh in your minds.?
? The city added 4 elements to the experience and it would be good to know whether they were helpful or not and whether we should push for them next year or change them in any way.
Note, this last element, #4, was a proposal that we gave to DC homeland security as a less disruptive alternative suggestion to just closing all the blocks completely. Truth is, as I mentioned in a previous email, they said "No". However, they also said
that the Police would have the authority to close blocks on site if they felt there was a public safety situation. I was surprised to see that the blocks were closed after all.
What happened is that a special events unit of the police was assigned to East Capitol for the evening. The officer in charge, shortly after his unit's arrival on the street, decided on his own judgment that closing the blocks was necessary. So, he did
so.
So, what are thoughts about whether these elements worked or not? Any comments would be appreciated and will help us in reviewing what can/should be done next year.
Oh, and one piece of potentially good news for many. You may have noticed that the parked cars remained in place. I was there and had a conversation with the officer in charge. He said that, in this kind of situation, the presence of the parked cars was
not a problem and he didn't think that moving them was a necessity. We'll bring this back to Mayor's Special Events Task Force and its members, who told us that they had a non-negotiable rule on moving all the cars, and see what they say.
best,
?Steve

ps As residents of East Capitol are well aware, the light towers on thursday had a bit of an issue. They were supposed to be turned off (with their noisy generators) at 10pm. They stayed on quite a bit longer. Last I heard was 1 am. I reached out to DDOT
around 11 and at midnight but couldn't get anyone around. The next morning, the DDOT official in charge of the towers apologized and explained that his crews were pulled off suddenly to deal with weather related issues that night. It would have been ideal
if they had just clicked a couple of "OFF" switches before they left. I pointed that out to them. Sorry for the inconvenience. Hopefully, if the light towers come back next year, everyone involved will keep all this in mind and make sure it doesn't happen
again.

Halloween:: DC govt plans for improving public safety on East Capitol blocks this year
Not sure if others on this list get Steve's emails.? He is our ANC commissioner. ----- Forwarded Message ----- From: Holtzman, Steve (SMD 6B05) <6b05@...> To: Holtzman, Steve (SMD 6B05) <6b05@...> Sent: Tuesday, October 29, 2019, 06:27:24 PM EDT Subject: Halloween:: DC govt plans for improving public safety on East Capitol blocks this year
? Just wanted to pass along to everyone the planned measures of DC agencies re improving public safety on the East Capitol blocks on Halloween eve this Thursday. You may recall that the ANCs had been in discussion with them for the last few months on
possible closure of the blocks to traffic for the evening. For the reasons detailed in an earlier email, that is not going to happen. However, I learned this afternoon that DC agencies intend to do the following this year:
Note, the light tower idea didn't come from ANC commissioners and today is the first I've heard of it in tangible terms. The DC agencies discussed this among themselves and decided to throw it in. I'm trying
to get more exact details on this. Hopefully, it's a good idea. If anyone feels strongly it is?not?a good idea, please give a shout.
