U Street/Meridian Hill Neighborhood, ANC 1B Seat 5
Commissioner Meghan Conklin of ANC1B06 and I are leading the effort in improving Meridan Hill Park. We've begun a planning process with the National Park Service, National Park Police, Washington Parks & People, and residents of Meridan Hill to develop a strategy for safety and community activity in the park Also, I recently started a listserv in my own building to improve communication on neighborhood issues, and I’d love to be on your building or block listserv. Please contact me to let me know how to sign up! I would love to hear from you on other issues that need attention. I'm working to schedule several ANC1B community meetings. Please let me know if your building or block would be willing to convene one! |
Both public safety and improving Meridian Hill Park are issues our community has highlighted, and both are coming together in an exciting new venture.News and Updates
