Casey Trees alerted me to the fact that the Council raided $1.4 million from the City's tree fund to use for other purposes during its first reading of the budget. I am hopeful that Mary, as she has d

Since my name was invoked, I still have not heard that any neighborhood organizations beyond CPCA and CPHS. Which other organizations were involved? As for public input, I checked the CPCA website, an

Far from it. The process is the same process as every other Ward has gone through, with public hearing and testimony submitted formally to the Councils' subcommittee. That is the part of the process t

I think it would be great if the community understood the format of this meeting, based on what was sent from Councilmember Silverman's office this morning to residents concerned this meeting was some

There are a few items cited that need clarification: It was stated that the redistricting task force did not follow the Home Rule charter about neighborhood cohesion. This makes it sound as if neighbo

I would hope that the Ward 3/Ward 4 Democrats would permit residents the ability to ask Phil about this issue at the forum that are hosting Tuesday night, but there does not seem to be any method for

It is certainly the case that the ANCs are being split precisely to provide a more equitable voice in matters of development on the Avenues to those who actually live there. But it is not true that th

I can't comment on the billing since insurance paid most of my cost. I can say that Dr. Fonseca is the most professional and gentle Endontist I have encountered for root canal work. I hope I have no m

This seems to be an intended consequence, as the government wants you to choose a hybrid or electric car instead of a gasoline engine. But hybrids only get you 30 miles or so with an electric engine,

Well, it seems that Denmark itself wasn't really Denmark as you perceive it until those who wanted a better lifestyle protested to make it so. It is not as if Copenhagen simply sprang from the egg as

The old gas tax yarn is just not true. The gas tax is not directly connected to roadway maintenance or improvements. It goes into the general fund. In fact, it is each of our property and income taxes

Replying to the various posts, some of which are well meaning and others that long for preservation of car lanes and car parking. The idea of a dedicated bike path that somehow parallels existing stre

They don't want to spend the money. There are plenty of EGO Battery powered leaf blowers right up the road at Strosniders and further up the road at Lowes. I have one, and have for years, and it does

+1 to earlier post from Debbie in McLean Gardens (Message #185446 ). Those who live on what potentially will become a traffic-clogged nightmare certainly ought to have the pre-eminent opportunity to h

Here's the thing. The task force already voted on a much worse map in the eyes of CPCA and CPHS. There is really nothing in the rules that says anything about community groups getting precisely what t

I admit that I am at a loss to understand the argument you are making. Everyone would agree that when a historic district is approved for a neighborhood, HPRB gets to review proposed plans to determin

After reading this description of the ANC vote, I took the opportunity with yesterday's beautiful weather to visit the ravine between Newark and Macomb Street to better understand how this green valle

I agree with much of what is said here regarding the lack of a supermarket creating a need for more driving. And there is a concern about overcrowding in the schools, but frankly that is an issue thro

There are a few things to know about AirBnB and how they seek to operate. We have operated an AirBnB and have some familiarity. Nobody is guaranteed access to their platform, and they seem to do their

I'm sorry, but the two situations are not analogous. For Klingle Road, there were absolutely equity arguments to be made about whether folks from the east of the park had access to jobs and amenities
