Mount Pleasant DC Forum

[SgtGauck]

Notes from PSA 301's May Partnership for Problem Solving meeting (held May 10, 2005 at 7:00 PM at the Mt. Pleasant Library) are provided below.

* Ofc. Pitt reports increased activity at Marconi Park, specifically people drinking and sleeping in park. Himself and Ofc. Quiles are giving the area special attention and will report on their progress at the next meeting.

* Cars speeding out of the alley adjacent to Heller's Bakery, creating harzard for pedestrians on sidewalk.

* Traffic signals at the intersection of Park Rd, Klingle Rd, and Walbridge Pl are confusing to motorists. Some are making a right turn on a red arrow with a solid green light. Difficult area to set up for enforcement. Strobe light was suggested. ANC Commissioner McKay will pursue this possibility with dDot. Mr. John Adams, assistant to Councilmember Graham will also be checking w/ dDot.

* Ofc. Faucett reports that "Safe Alleys" (concentrated patrols of alleys) going well

* Traffic congestion stemming from release of students to parents at Sacred Heart School has been partially eleviated by implementation of staggered release of students.

* Sgt. Gauck reports that 2 of the 4 buildings in the Adopt-A-Building program have been declared a success (Park Lee and Majestic). Officers will receive new assignments to expand program outreach.

The next meeting will be held on Tuesday, June 14, 2005 at 7:00 PM at the basement level of the Mt. Pleasant Library located at 16th Street & Lamont Street, NW. These meetings are held monthly on the second Tuesday of each month.

Hope to see you next month!
