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

Cardinal's Nest decision
Dear Neighbors: To all who have not heard as of yet: the Liquor Control Board found against the Cardinal's Nest in a May 13 decision. They found the establishment at fault for serving liquor to minors, allowing alcohol to be taken out of the establishment, for violations of the voluntary agreement with the community, noise violations and not displaying the voluntary agreement. The penalty was a $5,000 fine and a 15 consecutive day suspension, from June 17th to July 1, 2009. This is what the assistant attorney general's office was requesting, short of revocation of their license. - John Feeley

Thomas Announces Median Strip on 12th Street Will Be Limited to Painted Street Markings
Washington, DC-
Ward 5 Councilmember Harry "Tommy" Thomas, Jr. announced today that the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) has reversed its decision to install a landscaped, 10-foot wide median strip on 12th Street between Randolph and Perry Streets, NE. Councilmember Thomas, who received complaints from Brookland residents and businesses about the proposed median, met with DDOT planning staff in January 2009. At the January meeting, DDOT agreed to postpone installation of a landscaped median until further engineering studies were completed and the other potential traffic calming measures were assessed. After completing its analyses, DDOT determined that the best choice is the use of painted street markings to delineate a median strip. The option of a re-striping 12th Street to provide a 10-foot wide median between Randolph and Perry Streets, NE is one of the potential traffic calming solutions included in the Brookland Multi-Modal Transportation and Streetscape Study (on page 115)..
"A landscaped, 10-foot wide median on 12th Street would have constricted access to some of our neighborhood businesses along the corridor" said Councilmember Thomas. "In today's uncertain economy, constricting access could be the death knell to a small business. Not only is this a victory for Brookland, but also for all neighborhoods across the city trying to nurture their local business districts." ###
Harry "Tommy" Thomas, Jr. represents Ward 5 on the Council of the District of Columbia. Thomas chairs the Council's Committee on Libraries, Parks, and Recreation. He sits on four additional committees: Workforce Development and the Environment, Aging and Community Affairs, Housing and Workforce Development, and Public Services and Consumer Affairs.
