Dog Parks for Shaw/DC - Proposed Rules: Your Comments Must be Submitted by November 10
My two dogs sometimes can be seen at Westminster Park, sometimes at Garrison Elementary. Mostly, long walks have to suffice, as neither of these places are always dog-friendly for one reason or another.
I know that we could sure use better spaces for our dogs's enjoyment in Shaw and in
DC. I have not unfortunately had the time to review the proposed Dog Park Rules, but, if you are interested in improving the dog-friendly future for our best or second-best friends, the deadline for comment submission is fast approaching, ending on November 10, 2007.

REMINDER TO DEPUTY MAYOR - Community's Voice Has Been Established: Parcel 42 Must Include Commercial Component
November 3, 2007
Mr. Neil Albert
Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development
John A. Wilson Building
1350 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Suite 317
Washington, DC 20004
RE: Parcel 42 and Mixed-Use Requirement Per Duke Plan -- Community's Past Voice and Call/Input Must be Considered
Dear Mr. Albert:
Since the NCRC was abandoned and its duties now assigned to your office, I ask that you remember that the Duke Plan (see links below) has mapped the future use for Parcel 42 as a mixed-use project.
On behalf of my own household as well as other residents in this Shaw neighborhood, to develop Parcel 42 – that is expected to be largely affordable housing -- into a single residential-use scope will not only be contrary to prior neighborhood planning but also do a disservice to this neighborhood for generations to come. The future of this neighborhood a viable center for future growth requires the contribution of mixed use development and this parcel is the place to do it.Your decision to support a commercial component as a part of the final design for this project will reflect that the Mayor is responsive the voice of the community that has already spoken on this issue.
Sincerely,
Square394 Watcher
