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:
- 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!
- Neighborhood Conservation. We will discuss and vote
on our next project to submit to the Neighborhood
Conservation queue. Under consideration are:
- Completion of curb, gutter and sidewalks along 18th St S
from S Quincy to Walter Reed Drive.
- Completion of curb, gutter and sidewalks along 13th St S
from Glebe Road to S Walter Reed Drive.
- 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!
