Thanks to neighbors and MPD for joining together in a community walk last night. This walk is part of the ongoing efforts for starting a Neighborhood Watch program in Edgewood. We walked up and down several streets/alleys and talked about what neighbors can do to work together. Some items we noted were where trees can be trimmed and streetlights can be brightened to light up some dark blocks and corners. Both of those items are completed by DDOT and service was requested through 311. We also found out about other city services for mental health, employment, and senior services that we can help connect neighbors in need. We found that there are some vacant houses that can be report to DCRA to make sure that they are secure. We also talked about ways to have social community events with MPD to help neighbors get to know each other better and include activities for the children and teenagers as well potentially even a soapbox derby race. <br />
<br />
It was a very informative walk and the conversation will be continued at the next Neighborhood Watch meeting on October 13th. I hope that even more neighbors can join.<br />
<br />
Here is some information about ways to stay connected and to report issues:<br />

Yesterday after neighborhood cleanup I went door to door talking to neighbors on the 200-300 blocks of Adams Street NE, 200 block of Ascot Place NE, 200-300 blocks of Bryant Street NE and the 2300-2400 blocks of 3rd Street NE. If you live on these blocks but were not home when I came by I left a note. Please let me know if you did not get it and I will be happy to stop by again.<br />
<br />
The neighbors that I talked to all shared many similar concerns. I will list the ones that I heard below and wanted to remind everyone about the neighborhood safety walk tonight at 6 pm starting on the corner of 3rd and Adams Street NE.<br />
<br />
I will continue to come by all neighbors houses over the next week hoping to connect with everyone in SMD 5E10. If you live in building and would like me to attend a meeting please contact me. I will also be available at the November 1st Edgewood Neighborhood Cleanup at 10:30 a.m. starting at 3rd and Evarts Street NE.<br />
<br />
Neighborhood Concerns:<br />
<br />
New Edgewood Recreation Center<br />
Development especially at the Rhode Island Ave Shopping Center and 4th Street NE<br />
Crime and Safety<br />
Community Building and Neighborhood Events<br />
ATVs/Dirt bikes<br />
Ginkgo Trees<br />
Activity in Alleys<br />
<br />

Many neighbors requested this training when I went door to door in 2012 and thanks to ANC Debbie Smith Steiner and the requests made during her public safety meeting we now have the opportunity in our neighborhood.</span></span></span><br />

We can discuss your thoughts/suggestions/concerns for our neighborhood while we clean it up!<br />
<br />
Just wanted to send out a reminder that tomorrow is the Edgewood Neighborhood monthly cleanup. The group meets in front of the Edgewood Rec Center at the corner of 3rd and Evarts NE at 10:30 a.m. The cleanup is sponsored by the Friends of Edgewood Recreation Center and occurs the first Saturday of every month same time and location. The group picks up trash around the neighborhood including the rec center and has a cookout afterwards.<br />
<br />
This is a great way to meet your neighbors and show pride in our neighborhood!<br />
<br />
If you cannot come try and cleanup around your block today or tomorrow morning so we can cover more areas!!!</div>LifeOnTheEdgewoodhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08004126193800527902noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7529878282119900407.post-33749961892665169292012-10-04T20:13:00.001-07:002012-10-04T20:50:32.368-07:00Yard SignsHi Neighbors!
