Peter,
?
Good catch--I didn't make the boundaries clear in my note.
?
The boundaries would extend north of Pennsylvania Avenue to East Capitol from 2nd St SE to 11th St SE,?so 12th St, Kentucky Ave and 13th St would not be affected by expansion of the pilot.
?
Thanks,
Brian

Hi Brian,?
Thanks for keeping up us updated on what's going on in the neighborhood.?
I just have a question regarding the boundaries of the performance parking. ?Will the new pilot area extend all the way to the park? ?Please let us know.?

311--DC's Customer Service Center
Neighbors,
I wanted to provide the attached information on 311, which was provided at a recent ANC meeting. ?The power point has some general info on 311 and the "quick tips" contains methods of contacting 311 (other than dialing 311!) and general guidelines on how long it takes to complete various service requests. ?
For those new to the neighborhood, 311 is essentially the customer service center for the City, and acts as a clearing house for service requests for most city agencies.??is a great on-line resource. ?You can not only submit and track a digital 311 request, you can use the "311 service requests map" to view all open 311 requests in the neighborhood. ?We've asked the 311 Operations Director, Erick?Hines, to provide trending data for each Advisory Neighborhood Commission. ?Hopefully that will happen soon.

Security Walk and Vine's Sentencing Hearing
Neighbors,
?
I wanted to remind you that we'll be walking tomorrow night from 9:30 PM to 11:30 PM (a small shift in the originally advertised time).? If you're interested in walking, please contact me and I'll send you the address for Meg Krause.? Meg will be providing coffee prior to the walk.
?
Also, I want to personally thank those of you who provided community impact statements in support of the sentencing hearing for David Vines.? Residents submitted over 40 community impact statements--a precedent.? Mr. Vines hearing is tomorrow, and the below quote from Assistant US Attorney Thomas Bednar sums it up:
?
?"The showing of community impact has been so strong for this case that I don¡¯t think it¡¯s necessary to have anyone testify at the sentencing.? If any community members or police want to attend, it will only give further proof to the judge that people really care about these types of crimes.? Judge Beck should be sitting in courtroom 302 this week.? She starts her calendar at 9:30 a.m. and should get to her sentencing matters in short order this Friday."
?
If any of you can make it to the hearing, I'm sure it would reinforce how frustrated we are with crime in our neighborhood.
?
Regards,
Brian Pate

Meeting with 311, Hine PUD sub-committee, next security walk and an SMD meeting
Neighbors,
A busy week lies ahead.
311 ANC6B's Outreach & Constituent Services Task Force will be discussing 311 with Mrs. Wanda Gattison, from the District's Office of Unified Communication, this Wednesday night at the Hill Center from 7PM to 8PM. ?For those who don't know, 311 is the District's customer service center and a hub for almost all city service requests. ?Topics will include how to be a smarter user of 311 services and will include an opportunity to provide feedback on how well 311 does or does not work for you. ?If you can't make the meeting, feel free to send me your questions and feedback.
Hine PUD Sub-Committee The Hine Planned Unit Development (PUD) sub-committee will meet at 7PM Thursday night at the Hill Center. ?This meeting will lay out and begin the process of prioritizing desired community benefits and amenities. ?Questions regarding the developments height and mass will also be discussed, and, hopefully, addressed. ?Again, if you can't make it and have something to say, please don't hesitate to contact me off-line.
Next Lincoln Park Security Walk The next Lincoln Park Security Walk will occur this Friday, February 24th, from 9PM to 11PM. ?We'll muster at Megan Krause's home prior to the walk for coffee and hot chocolate. ?MPD will support. ?We had a great turn out at our last walk (8 people!) and I hope to sustain the same level of participation.
SMD05 Meeting? A reminder that there will be an SMD05 meeting on Thursday, March 1st from 7PM to 8:30PM at the SE library. ?The main topic of conversation will be expansion of the performance parking pilot. ?I have not yet confirmed Department of Transportation representation, but am doing my best to secure a rep. ?In the absence of a DDOT rep, I will do my best to help answer questions. ?I am also looking for volunteers to help flyer this meeting over the weekend. Please let me know if you're willing to hand out flyers on your block this weekend.

meet with kim's garden, spread the word
Folks,
I will be out of town this weekend, but wanted to pass this along to those who might be able to help.
As many of you know, Friends of Kim Brenegar is renovating the triangular park at the intersection of 9th, Independence Ave and North Carolina Ave. ?From Carmella's e-mail, I assume they've hit some snags with funding.
I'm committing $50 this weekend, and would encourage others to do what they can. ?This is truly an effort that will have an immediate and tangible impact on our neighborhood.

Neighbors,
Below please find the promised follow up to last week's updates:
Sidewalks and Alleys ANC6B recently received a list of FY12 DDOT sidewalk repair projects. ?The good news is that many of the sidewalk issues identified by residents and during walk throughs with City staff are on the list (see attached). ?The 200 block of 12th, which in my opinion receives the award for "least walkable" sidewalk, features prominently on the list. ?The ANC's transportation committee is now working with DDOT to further determine priorities and project schedules.
I'll be meeting tomorrow with Chris Fitzgerald, the Mayor's Ward 6 liaison, DDOT reps and neighbors abutting the alley between the 200 block of 9th and 10th Streets to discuss their alley's woeful state of repair. ?We've heard several times from DDOT that repairing the alley with bricks is cost prohibitive, but recent work on several other Cap Hill alleys proves that a quality repair is possible...we just need to push together.
Eastern Market Legislation
ANC6B finalized its position on pending EM legislation in late December. ?The ANC endorses the primary goal of the legislation, which would create a non-profit Trust to govern and operate the market, while recommending changes that improve the transparency and accountability of the Trust and proposing modest protections for existing vendors and tenants. ?
In a recent meeting with Council Member Wells, he accepted the majority of the ANC's positions, and stated that his next steps are to:
? ? a) Incorporate feedback from the Eastern Market Community Advisory Community (EMCAC) and the Tenant's Council, which represents vendors and merchants;
? ? ? b) Rewrite the legislation to incorporate changes; and,? ? ? ? c) Submit to Council the revised text as an amendment to the underlying amendment.
The final ANC position is also attached. ?
Vacant Properties I'm tracking the following properties as potentially vacant or blighted, and yesterday received the following updates during a visit with the DC Regulatory Agency's (DCRA) Vacant Property Unit (VPU):
?*123 13th St - An inspector assessed the property last month. ?The VPU is now attempting to contact the owner. ?The owner has 45 days to respond to the VPU and seek an exemption before the property is placed on the vacant property roles. ?Once on the vacant property list, the City will reclassify the property and tax it at a higher rate (5%). ?There are currently no liens on the property, but the property's taxes are not payed through 2011.
?*1125 Independence Ave - The VPU is scheduling an inspector to assess this property. ? ?*102 9th St SE - The property is currently classified as Class 3, vacant property and has $44,000 in outstanding tax payments, with the last payment made in 2006.
?*820 C St - Because city raised the structure on this property, the VPU does not track it. ?However, the City has a $140,000 lien against the property and at some point will begin collection actions against the owner. ?
Ultimately, the city will auction or sell properties with outstanding liens and tax burdens. ?If you're interested in these properties, contact the DC Office of Tax and Revenue and let them know you'd like to see the properties put to better use. ?
Medical Marijuana ? The city has delayed the dispensary application process, pending further review. ?This means that the ANC will not be considering an application to place a clinic on 8th St at this month's Alcoholic Beverage Committee (ABC) meeting.
Crime and Punishment (Continued) Assistant US Attorney Bednar reports that he's received over 30 Community Impact Statements in support of the pending sentencing of Robert Vines, a chronic offender responsible for numerous crimes in our neighborhood. ?AUSA Bednar was optimistic that the statements would go a long way towards ensuring Mr. Vines receives a meaningful sentence. ?Thank you to those of you who took the time to send in a statement!
Unfortunately, there have been no arrests in conjunction with the string of muggings in Nov/Dec, and thefts from auto continue to bedevil PSA 107, particularly in the area bounded by 6th & 7th St and East Cap (51 thefts from auto in January!). ?At the PSA 107 meeting last Thursday, Lt. Fowler reported on additional efforts to get this problem under control, and continued to call upon neighbors to use 911 upon any observation of suspicious activity.?
Reservation 13 My colleague, Commissioner Flahaven, has been organizing Commissioner's from ANC6B and adjacent ANCs in an effort to lobby the Mayor's office on the topic of Reservation 13 (Res 13 is the largest undeveloped parcel in DC). ?The ask is simple--we'd like the Mayor to conduct a public meeting to explain the administration's future intentions with regard to Reservation 13. ?Recently the Mayor and several Council Members made comments indicating that the City would like to build a Redskins training camp at this location. ?This puts into question the fate of a carefully crafted, community driven master plan. ?Unfortunately Mayor Gray has yet to commit to a meeting, and we are asking folks to take 2 minutes to call the Mayor's office and encourage him to engage on this issue. ?You can reach the Mayor's office at: ? 202-727-6263. ?
Resident Members
Over the past 8 months, ANC6B has added over 20 voting resident members to its committees and task forces. ?While we are still learning and perfecting how to best incorporate resident members, I can say unequivocally that increased resident participation has benefited the ANC and the community. ?We have greatly increased the capacity and talent available to the ANC, and expanded the view points and voices participating in the debates that influence our neighborhood. ?
Next Tuesday, the ANC will vote on Committee and Task Force chairs and resident members. ?If you are interested in participating on one of the ANC's three Committees (ABC, Transportation and Planning & Zoning) or two Task Forces (Hill East, Outreach & Constituent Services), please contact me. ?Committees are limited to one voting resident member from each SMD, Task Forces have no limitations. ?Open disclosure: all three of SMD05's current committee resident members have indicated an interest in serving another year (their first year of service being only a partial one), and I intend to endorse their continued involvement. ?All have served well. ?However, it is an open process and I encourage participation.
SMD05 Meeting
Lastly, a reminder that their will be an SMD05 meeting on Thursday, March 1st from 7PM to 8:30PM at the SE Library. ?The main topic of conversation will be expansion of the performance parking pilot. ?I'm working with DDOT to secure their attendance at the meeting.
Thanks and as always don't hesitate to contact me with any issues or concerns.

fundraiser for Ms. Frances' class - greeting cards
Hi all.
If this is an abuse of neighborliness, please delete!
Our son Thatcher is in Ms. Frances' preschool and they're doing a
fundraiser, selling greeting cards.
It is a box of 20 cards for $30 and they're very nice cards.
1 box is kid oriented and the other box is mixed.
Here's what they look like:
And, 50% of the proceeds goes directly to the preschool, which is
unusually high.
Please let me know if you're interested in a box. We'd really appreciate it.

If any of you awoke this morning to find the wheels, seat and rack stolen from your bike, you should contact the police.
Last night I awoke at 2:45am to the sound of the rattle of the iron fence that is in front of our house where my wife locks her bike.? I quietly opened the shade and saw a man removing the wheels from my wife's bike.? Parked behind him was a bike with several wheels, tires, seats, and racks attached to it.
I called the police and they caught him in the alley and took him away.
He was an African American male in his 30s or 40s.
His bike was loaded with several parts and he parked it right on 11th street while he pulled the seat and wheels from my wife's bike. I know there aren't many people
around at 3 am but it was quite obvious what he was up to for anybody who was passing by.
