[WardFive] Christmas Tree Pickup

The following update includes projections for which routes we expect to complete today.

As a reminder, holiday trees and greenery should be placed next to residents’ blue recycling bins—not at the curb, unless that is where the resident’s recyclables are normally collected. This collection service is only available to residents who are serviced by DPW. DPW collects trash and recyclables from single-family homes and apartment/condo buildings with three or fewer living units. Residents living in larger apartment and condo buildings will need to contact their building management.

All DC residents also have the option of bringing their holiday trees and greenery to either of the District’s transfer stations. The Fort Totten Transfer Station is located at 4900 John F. McCormack Drive, NE, and is open Monday—Friday from 1pm—5pm and on Saturdays 8am—3pm. The Benning Road Transfer Station is located at 3200 Benning Road, NE, and is open Monday—Friday from 1pm—4:30pm. Trees and greenery brought to either of the transfer stations, along with those collected by DPW, will be composted.

Whichever option residents choose to dispose of their trees, all ornaments and lights should be removed, and the trees and greenery should not be bagged. If your tree has not been collected by February 2, please call 311.

Tree Collection Routes Projected for Tuesday, January 30:

Ward 1: Mt. Pleasant, Columbia Hts., Cardozo Shaw (ANC 1B), Dupont Circle (1C), Pleasant Plains, Park View, Howard University

[WardFive] DC Snow Team On Standby

 

DC Snow Team On Standby, Ready To Treat Roads Ahead of Tuesday Morning Commute

 

(The National Weather Service is forecasting a mix of rain and snow, with accumulations of snow up to one inch, beginning around 2:00 am on Tuesday, January 30. The DC Snow Team will be called in at midnight to closely monitor temperatures and precipitation, and treat District roads as necessary. Residents and motorists can register to receive important weather alerts from the District on their devices by signing up for AlertDC at alertdc.dc.gov.

 

“The DC Snow Team will be on standby overnight, prepared to treat all District routes ahead of the Tuesday morning commute if needed,” said DPW Director Chris Shorter. “Throughout the evening and early morning hours we will be keeping a close eye on the type of precipitation that falls and road temperatures. If temperatures drop and heavy snow begins to fall, we will be ready.”

 

To prepare for the overnight snow and morning commute, residents are encouraged to heed the following tips:

• Take Metro as an alternative to driving.
• If driving, do so cautiously and maintain safe speeds and distances from other vehicles.
• Keep a safe distance from emergency and snow vehicles and use caution when attempting to pass a snowplow. Give the drivers plenty of room to safely do their jobs.
• Be aware of hazardous road conditions, particularly black ice which can be deceptive in appearance and give the driver a false sense of security on the road.
• Drive and walk carefully on bridges, ramps and other elevated structures which can freeze before the roadway.

 

The DC Snow Team encourages residents and commercial property owners to apply abrasives such as rock salt, de-icer, or non-clumping kitty litter to the sidewalks around their properties to reduce the possibility of icing and to prevent slips and falls.

  

The District’s Snow Team is committed to a quick completion of plowing and salting along major roads and residential streets, which in turn means a faster return to normal traffic flow and earlier resumption of trash collection and other city services. Residents concerned about the treatment or plowing of specific roads should call the Citywide Call Center by dialing 311. For more information about DC’s snow program and preparing for winter weather, or to see where District Snow Team plows are working, go to snow.dc.gov. To stay informed about weather conditions and how District services are affected, follow the accounts listed below on social media.

 

Additional Service Changes

Residents should expect delays with their holiday tree collections, as collection crews also work as part of the DC Snow Team.

Kevin

Subject: FW: Colorectal Cancer Health Seminar in Ward 5. on February 10 at 11 pm at Woodridge Library

 

Dear Community Residents

 

Medstar Washington Hospital Center has a new project Colorectal Cancer Prevention in the Neighborhood.  Ward 5 has the highest rate of late stage colorectal cancer.  At this event will

educate and provide information and assistance to those in the Ward community. We hope to expand this program to other wards.

 

FACT: Women and Men 50 years and older living in Wards 5, had some of the highest rates of advanced late stage colorectal cancer diagnosis in the city.  Regular screening can often find colorectal cancer early, when it is most likely to be curable. ... Why is it important to find colorectal cancer early? ... But only about 4 out of 10 colorectal cancers are found at this early stage.

 

I invite to come this event.  See attached flyer

RE: [WardFive] Re: Guildfield Church lot/12th Street businesses

Tell them to park on the 7 eleven or the service station parking lot since they are good citizens.

Good Morning Ms. Steptoe,

I had received a couple of calls/inquiries in reference to FREE parking at Guildfield.   Thank you for your help and assistance with the church.  Pastor has done a great job being a good servant and shepherd in our community.  In addition, St. Anthony's has a parking lot and does not allow ANY parking other than that of the school, no complaints.

I did let our community members know that Brookland/CUA metro station has a parking lot and introduced them to the brand spanking new garage next to Comcast.

Thanks again for your assistance.

Subject: Guildfield Church lot/12th Street businesses

Hello - fyi that I rec'd a call yesterday inquiring about, among other things, church lot.

The caller, William Hunt, indicates some of the "12th Street business" expressed concern that "Guildfield is being treated like a slave plantation such that the Guildfield had to cave in to gov't pressure to shut down, preventing businesses from parking on the lot."  Hunt indicates "12th Street businesses indicated [they] contributed to the "community" and should, out of gratitude for their contribution, be allowed to park on Guildfield's lot... as good neighbors and part of the community."

I made clear to Hunt
1) Guildfield is private property,
2) Guildfield is a 501(c)(3) and, by DC and fed law, must operate in accordance with its IRS/biz requirements
3) same as Howard University, my Lawrence Street house, and St. Anthony's, Guildfield is under NO OBLIGATION WHATSOEVER to allow anyone or anything to dictate, control, suggest or infer how Guildfield will handle its PRIVATE PROPERTY
4)  Eddie Johnson and any other 12th Street businesses are only looking out for themselves, their profit and their convenience;
5) 12th Street business and others who Pastor ALLOWED TO FREELY  to park on Guildfield's lot CONTRIBUTED AND/OR DONATED NOTHING to Guildfield

Further, I explained to Hunt - and told him to tell 12th Street businesses what I said, that -
6)  Guildfield is not the only church in Brookland.
7) I suggested those businesses go to St. Anthony's or wherever else in Brookland to park FREE AND WITHOUT PERMISSION...
8) Guildfield is a black church and it is disgraceful that folks in this community continue to insult this church by exploiting, pimping and potentially jeopardizing Guildfield's standing
9)  For years, the various Ward 5 councilmembers (Spaulding, H. Thomas/both, Orange) and Brookland ANCs (Steptoe, Higgins) have PROTECTED Guildfield against neighbors and the city trying to shut the church down for its community volunteer parking, food banks, homeless efforts, etc.
10) Guildfield has and continues to have folks both inside and outside the church who seek to do the church harm and care nothing about its operations.

With that, I want all aware that a few greedmongers in the community still remain hostile to this black church deciding to protecting itself as a 501(c)(3) and as private property.

I copied Commissioner Ursula Higgins (5b02@anc.dc.gov<mailto:5b02@anc.dc.gov>) on this email so she, as Guildfield's commissioner, is fully aware of this development.

Steptoe

Subject: IMPORTANT: Metro invites public to comment on FY2019 budget and capital investment

For immediate release: January 19, 2018
Metro invites public to comment on FY2019 budget and capital investment

Metro is inviting the public to provide feedback on the Fiscal Year 2019 budget proposal focused on continued capital investment without raising fares or cutting service.

To balance Metro's $3.2 billion budget for the coming fiscal year, Metro is seeking additional funding from the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia governments while continuing to take actions to cut costs and increase business revenues.

As part of the budget, Metro's Capital Improvement Program invests $1.3 billion in funding safety improvements, rebuilding the Metro system and improving reliability of the current rail and bus networks. It also funds the deployment of new trains and buses, station upgrades and other important improvements.

Metro values the input of its customers. Comments will be provided to the Metro Board for consideration prior to adopting the budget. The public is encouraged to comment by 5:00 p.m. on Monday, February 5, 2018:

* Provide comment online<https://metro2019budget.questionpro.com/>
* Attend an open house Wednesday, January 31, 2018*, at 5:30 p.m. followed by a public hearing starting at 6 p.m. Speaker registration is onsite only.
Metro Headquarters Building
600 Fifth St. NW
Washington, DC 20001
(via Metrorail: Gallery Place or Judiciary Square)
*Note that dates may change due to weather and check wmata.com/budget<https://www.wmata.com/initiatives/budget/index.cfm> for any schedule changes.

The budget proposal includes several key initiatives:

* Continued delivery of 7000-series railcars to replace older, less reliable trains
* New buses and paratransit vehicles
* Additional improvements or maintenance for tracks, stations, rail power and radio and wireless systems
* Reduce costs through management actions and competitive contracting
* Limit the growth of the jurisdictional operating subsidy for Metro to three percent, or $29 million in FY2019

To view the full docket<https://www.wmata.com/initiatives/budget/upload/B18-01-and-B18-02-Docket-final.pdf> and for more information about the proposed capital and operating budget, visit wmata.com/budget<https://www.wmata.com/initiatives/budget/index.cfm>.

All comments submitted online, along with written statements and public hearing comments will be part of the official public hearing record and submitted to the Board of Directors in March 2018 as part of the final decision making process.

Metro's fiscal year 2019 budget and any approved changes would take effect in July.
