Civic Association Meeting Tuesday 28th April 2015

The next Civic Association meeting will be held Tuesday 28 April at 7.30pm in the downstairs meeting room of Firehouse No. 9 at 19th Street South and South Walter Reed Drive. On the agenda:

1. Mail Delivery. In November, we met with regional US Post Office officials to discuss ongoing issues with mail delivery in Douglas Park. It was a lively meeting, to say the least! At April’s meeting, postal officials—including recently-appointed South Station Manager, Marcus Clinkscale—will return for more discussion and feedback. A thank-you to Douglas Park resident Carol Freysinger for coordinating with the USPS folks!
2. Neighborhood Conservation. We will discuss and vote
   on our next project to submit to the Neighborhood
   Conservation queue. Under consideration are:
   1. Completion of curb, gutter and sidewalks along 18th St S
      from S Quincy to Walter Reed Drive.
   2. Completion of curb, gutter and sidewalks along 13th St S
      from Glebe Road to S Walter Reed Drive.
   3. Streetlights along S Oakland St between 18th and 19th
      Streets S.

Please keep in mind that any project requires both a champion to oversee the process and approval by residents controlling at least 60% of the street frontage
in the project area to move forward. So, attend and let your opinion be heard!

3. Neighborhood Volunteer Needs. We have several opportunities for residents to help their fellow DPCA members and neighbors, including

• Newsletter advertising coordinator
• Newsletter distribution coordinator’
• Newsletter Spanish translator
• Fourth of July Coordinator
• Election Day Bake Sale Assistant
• Writers for the update of our Neighborhood Conservation Plan
