WORK HAS
STARTED ON REPAVEMENT OF ALLEY BETWEEN THE UNIT BLOCKS OF T STREET
AND RHODE ISLAND AVE. NW!!
This alley is to be re-paved
in brick!. Work on the alley began August 12 and the alley will be closed
to vehicular traffic for about 2 weeks.
Earlier this week, I called a
special SMD meeting to discuss questions and concerns of residents about the
alley work. Residents were primarily concerned about dumping of trash and
unused supercans left in the alley. It was decided that DPW will be asked
to remove all unmarked trash cans, attempts will be made to install "No
Dumping Signs" and camera, and DDOT has been asked to pave the public
space alley easement to enable residents to easily move their supercans to and
from the alley for trash collection.
Consistent with
recommendations in the Bloomingdale Village Square's Architecture &
Design Plan (available at www.bloomingdalecivicassociation.org),
these residents also expressed interest in transforming the alley into a
pleasant space where young and old can informally gather and play, by creating
hanging and other gardens, and public art including murals.
Mayor Bowser has indicated a
desire to hold a ribbon-cutting of the new alley. And afterwards,
residents want to celebrate the long-awaited new alley with an old-fashion
"alley party"!. So please, keep tuned in!!
