Re: In Appreciation - Len Oliver
Marti Thomas
Many of us had the pleasure of meeting, learning from, and working with Len and Eleanor on shared concerns about Hearst Park. They wore our green Hearst Park shirts with the Willow Oaks at several DC Council budget hearings. Len described how he trained for the Olympics on Hearst Field! Great neighbors, wonderful humans. Much love to the family. Marti Wow! DC Stoddert Soccer started by Len on our little field in Glover Park.
What a tremendous coach and person who touched the lives of so many. He literally experienced the rise of soccer in America in his lifetime. Many of our kids trained with and played for him.
May his memory be a blessing to his family.
https://www.washingtonpost. Rick Gersten --------------- Editor's note: Let me add my condolences to the Oliver family. Len and Eleanor Oliver joined the Cleveland Park Listserv in 2000, when it was just a few months old. Len contributed so much over his 22 years of participation in this group -- including writing about kids' soccer, Hearst field, giving lots of "how-to" advice, and of course, his always-reliable endorsements of the local businesses and the service providers he found most helpful. I just looked up the first message he ever sent to the Listserv: It's Message #407 on how to deal with gypsy moths. We will miss you, Len! Eleanor, sending you lots of love! |

Re: In Appreciation - Len Oliver
GLENN bass
Oh gosh, this post literally made my stomach sink. Len Oliver, a soccer legend no doubt, but also one of the nicest guys I have ever met in Cleveland Park. A blessing to have him as a neighbor down on 34th Pl before he moved to more conducive living conditions (less stairs) for he and his wife. We (me and my dog) enjoyed many walks through the neighborhood where he would tell stories of coaching soccer throughout the years. Funny too, as he frequently compared my elderly dog Ace with himself as they hobbled along together with some aches and pains during the walks. There wasn't a single time I didn't get excited for a Len Oliver sighting. Rest easy Coach, rest easy. You remain one of a kind. Glenn 36th St |

Re: New speed limit on Connecticut Avenue of 25 mph
Thomas L. Hutcheson
I don't think we should take out-of-state drivers' failure to pay tickets as given. For one the City can ensure that unpaid tickets go into their credit reports. For another, traffic enforcement personnel should have access to the plate numbers of egregious scofflaws and opportunistically arrest the driver or boot and impound the car.
All that said, I still think that new signage plus more speed cameras will help, will pass a cost benefit analysis. Thomas Hutcheson
- previous message -
I believe the point that most of us are making is that putting up signs marking the speed limit in Connecticut Ave at 25mph will do nothing unless it’s enforced, which doesn’t happen now, and MD residents come to respect (be responsible for paying) their traffic tickets from DC, which also doesn’t happen now. In other words, the ideal isn’t reality. |

Administrative Note: While the moderator's away, expect a delay!
Cleveland Park
Dear Listserv Members, * Holding a yard sale this weekend? If you'd normally send out the notice on Friday, this week you should send it in to the posting address (clevelandpark@groups.io) on Thursday morning, at the latest. Wednesday morning would be better still. * Same advice goes for event announcements. Post at least 48 hours in advance -- and 72 hours if you want to be sure your message will reach everyone in time. Please be aware that a significant percentage of our subscribers are on “Daily Summary” mode, meaning they get their messages in a listing of all the subject lines of all the previous messages posted the previous day. So even when I’m here and keeping up with the message flow, you still should strive to get any event notice in to the “pending messages” folder at least 48 hours in advance, to be sure it gets to everyone by the day of your event. (Not sure what all the subscription options are? Find out about them here: http://www.cleveland-park.com/faq.html) * Have a last-minute change of plans and need to sell same-day tickets? I'm afraid this is not the week for that! Sure, you can give it a try, but if a moderator doesn’t get to it until after your event has already happened, don’t be surprised. * Keep in mind the requirements -- for everyone, all year round! – when using the CP Listserv to sell things: You MUST say where you live! And if you live outside of the following “in-boundary" zip codes -- 20008, 20016, 20015, 20007 – sorry, but you don’t get to use the CP Listserv for free. We just can’t let anyone, anywhere get free use of the Listserv to sell stuff, or it would be more crowded than Craigslist -- and a lot harder to navigate. Plus, the fees we get from Premium Memberships or from individually paid fees per ad are what help us to keep the Cleveland Park Listserv going! More about the rules for sellers here: http://www.cleveland-park.com/advertising-faq.html . More about the Premium Membership Program here: http://www.cleveland-park.com/premium-membership.html . And more about buying a one-time for-sale ad here: http://www.cleveland-park.com/for-sale-ads.html. * If you would like information about advertising your business or buying an ad for your house, condo, or other property for sale or rent – all done through paid advertising -- go here: http://www.cleveland-park.com/business-advertising.html * If you have other questions about buying ads on the CP Listserv that are not answered on those pages, please use the “Contact Us” form on our website at www.cleveland-park.com to ask a question. Or you can email me at clevelandparklistservmoderator@... [clevelandparklistservmoderator @ gmail dot com]. I may not get back to you the same day but I will do my best to get back to you within a couple of days. However, if you are willing to wait until August 2 to discuss business, that would be much appreciated! Peggy Peggy Robin |

Source one of many (https://nacto.org/publication/city-limits/the-need/speed-kills/ ). There are plenty of bikers and pedestrians who already use Connecticut Avenue. I, for one, am excited by the slower cars and protected lanes. I walk my daughter to school in a stroller most days and each crosswalk is a gamble with drivers speeding and not looking before they turn. In one week alone, we had to walk around three different crashes in intersections along Connecticut Avenue. The changes to Connecticut Avenue will increase safety. This, in turn, will promote even more people to walk and bike. We need to stop glorifying the car above all us. Plenty of people use (or would use) other forms of transportation if the infrastructure was designed for it. |

Wonderful, experienced nanny available late August/early September
#nanny
mmulhall08@...
Our son is starting preschool this fall and our time with our wonderful nanny, Ivy, is sadly coming to an end. Ivy started with our kiddo when he was six months old and she has guided him expertly through tummy time, crawling, walking, independent eating, and so much more. Ivy is super loving, nurturing, and reliable. Our son adores her, as do we!

Re: New speed limit on Connecticut Avenue of 25 mph
Stephanie Gerard
A huge problem will occur if Beach Drive is closed (entirely or by sections -- one never knows!) in summer, as is proposed.
Beach Drive is not a pedestrian walkway, not Central Park. There is a parallel walking/biking trail. Bicyclists may use the roadway as well but are supposed to observe traffic laws. The speed limit along Beach Drive is a manageable 25mph. Why force drivers going to MD or upper NW onto side streets and to Connecticut Ave, Reno Rd and Mass. Ave? For what? Eliminating reversible lanes, leaving all-day parking on commercial streets, and letting Beach Drive do its job (provide a leafy pleasant drive away from the central city) would tamp down speeding, frustration, accidents all over. There are not enough daily bicyclists in hilly NW DC to warrant reconfiguring lanes. And are there even any buses anymore? Inter alia: More speed and red-light cameras, yes.
Left-turn arrows, yes.
Dangerous HAWK lights, no. Regular stop lights instead, yes.
Yellow speed humps, yes. Stoplights/stop signs at every intersection and t-section on Connecticut Ave, yes.
Bollards and sticks, no.
Driving/ walking while phoning, no.
Walkers gonna walk, bikers gonna bike, jaywalkers gonna jaywalk = accidents gonna happen. Pie in the sky to expect mass conversion away from cars and to become Denmark. Steph Gerard Woodley Rd |

Re: New speed limit on Connecticut Avenue of 25 mph
Betty Sinowitz <Bettyelain@...>
The 30-mph limit means cars go 45 mph on most roads, unless they receive notifications about cameras on their phones.
Betty - from previous message -
[snip] A 30 mi. per hr. limit is not very fast and one might note that that is the limit in the Chevy Chase, Md., strip of Connecticut with the cameras praised by proponents of the so-called improvements. No one feels that even one pedestrian casualty is acceptable but in reality, there are few. [snip] |

Re: ISO Info on cost of 9000 BTU mini split installation
Shazmah Hakim
We had one installed last summer for our basement. The compressor is outdoors and there are two wall units - one in the basement bedroom and one in the basement family room. The total cost was $10,000. We have been very happy with the system. We don't use it much in the summer as the basement stays cool. We run it 24/7 during the winter months and the cost is not much more than $15-20 additional on our PEPCO bill.
