Dear Edgewood Community,<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As you may know, there have been many traffic-related issues
that have disturbed our community since the beginning of this school year. We
recently met to discuss how we can all work as a community to solve these
problems.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Inspired Teaching School is deeply troubled by these issues,
and has directly intervened in a number of ways. The following is a list of
tactics, each attempted many times since August 2015:<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Collectively, we believe that all stakeholders must have an
opportunity to be heard, and the various District agencies that may be able to
help must be able to see a unified request for resources and support. <b><i>That
is why we have agreed to a joint meeting to further discuss potential
resolutions, to take place on Wednesday, January 20, 2016 (7pm) – hosted at
Inspired Teaching School.</i></b> We are working to ensure the participation of
many District agencies, including: MPD, WMATA, PCSB, DDOT, the Mayor’s office,
Councilman McDuffie’s office, and more. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We are inviting all neighbors, school families, and
community members to attend this meeting and help us work toward a solution.
The school and the community have very similar interests as far as traffic flow
and safe neighborhood conditions are concerned, and we look forward to
collaboratively problem-solving this issue with the public and the government
agencies who may find ways to support us.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Thank you so much for your patience and your support as we
attempt to make our neighborhood safer and less congested for the benefit of
everyone. Please know that we have been aware of the traffic issues, and have
been working tirelessly to address them. We care about our community, and we
are committed to making it better. Hope to see you on January 20<sup>th</sup>
at 7pm!<o:p></o:p></div>

The Private Security Camera System Incentive Program Emergency Act nearly doubles the number of maximum rebates possible, while maintaining a generous incentive: Up to $200 per camera installed and registered, with a maximum rebate of $500 per residential property and $750 per business, nonprofit, or religious institution, which often have a larger property footprint. Councilmember Allen’s effort also ensures that the highest crime area in each Ward receives priority for rebates, extends the length of time funds are available, and extends eligibility for the rebates to nonprofit organizations.</span></div><div class="yiv2995371206MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;
