Eastern Market Weekday Farmer's Line and Quick Updates


Brian Pate
 

Neighbors,

A few quick updates for you:

Eastern Market Weekday Farmers' Line - I'm happy to announce that Eastern Market will hold its first weekday farmers' market on Tuesday, July 10th from 3-7PM. ?The line will be a mix of the familiar and the new, with 6 new farmers joining 5 farmers from the current weekend line. ?Several of the new farmers are Amish farmers from Maryland. ?Please consider dropping by and supporting both our Market and the local food shed.

Security Walk - It has been awhile since our last walk, so mark your calendars for Friday, July 20th from 9-11PM. ?We'll rally at the corner of Kentucky and Independence Ave, then walk for an hour before linking up with MPD for the last half of the walk. ?

ANC6B's New Executive Director - ?ANC6B recently selected a new Executive Director from several excellent, highly qualified candidates. ?We are lucky to have Susan Eads-Role serving in the position. ?Susan is our neighbor (of the 200 block of 10th St gang) ?and brings a wealth of parliamentary and legislative experience to the job. ?In addition to ensuring that the operations of the Commission run smoothly, Susan is yet another resource to help residents navigate the various processes of DC government, from zoning to historic preservation and beyond.

311 on-line - 311, the District's service call center, launched a mobile application in April. ?You can download it at?. ?I've been using it for about two months now and find it to be very handy for quickly submitting infrastructure problems (street lights, pot holes, etc.) to the City. ?Of course, it's not a panacea, but it is a helpful tool. ?If you are using it already and have any feedback, I'd love to hear it. ?

Grade DC - ?If you don't get your problem fixed fast enough, consider letting the City know about it at , the City's newly launched feedback collection platform. ?It remains to be seen what the City will do with the information it collects, but it never hurts to provide them with feedback both negative and positive.

Please don't hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns and I'll do my best to get back to you. ?And please, please, please if you see me out and about, don't hesitate to stop me and let me know what's on your mind. ?My wife recently overheard someone at a sidewalk cafe saying that I looked "unapproachable", when the truth is most likely they just observed me trying to stay one step ahead of my five-year old son! ? I am always happy to hear what you have to say, even if its a registration of disagreement.

Speaking of disagreement, look for updates on Hine, Eastern Market legislation and the status of several other neighborhood projects in the next week or two.

Regards,

Brian
