Here are some points made at the 5A06 Single member district meeting:

1. Liquor license issues: Brookland Cafe is now applying for a restaurant license not a tavern license. There is still a protest from residents at Oak Terrace principally, and I have once again joined these constituents in their protest. Their objective is to enter into a voluntary agreement with Mr. Lumukanda, the proprietor.

2. Zoning: In the contiguous smd, in 5C, Abdo Development proposes a planned unit development and presented said pud to the zoning commission on October 5. Much support from the Commission but some concern on their part for the neighbors on Lawrence who came out in opposition. This response should embolden and mobilize residents of 5A06 for the day that Jemal and Metro come forward with their plans.

3. Fort Bunker Hill Park - The commissioner is talking to Park Service officials and the Friends of the Park about a clean up in the spring.

4. Neighborhood parking stickers for Turkey Thicket: There was some skepticism about the effectiveness of neighborhood stickers. It was suggested that what is needed is enforcement.

5.Jemal property/Tenleytown Trash: No response from the owner of Tenleytown about relocating trucks to another part of the facility, not next to residents on Perry Place.

6. Michigan Avenue Traffic Calming petition: This petition, which addresses enforcement (speed cameras) and flashing pedestrian crossing signs for Michigan Avenue between 10th and 12th, is being circulated.

7. Brookland School maintenance - School back parking lot has been cleaned, the grass cut and the gates locked.

8. It was pointed out that DDOT is not cutting the grass beside the bridge across from Comcast. - J. Feeley, 5A06
