Ward 5 Redistricting and Edgewood

In case you have missed it there has been a series of posts on Greater Greater Washington the past three days on the Ward 5 redistricting maps and process.  I encourage everyone to read them and comment.

Yesterday they posted a map which the authors of the posts thought would be best for the new ANCs and SMDs in Ward 5.  They have grouped Edgewood with Eckington, Truxton Circle, Bates-Hanover and Bloomingdale.  I think that Edgewood would be better served to be in the same ANC as Brookland.  There are so many projects and developments on the Edgewood/Brookland border and Edgewood is constantly left out of the process.  Many residents in Edgewood think they live in Brookland.  I think that if we were in the same ANC it would allow the Edgewood neighborhood to have better representation and stop the overuse of the Brookland name for the projects/developments that are partially or even wholly in the Edgewood neighborhood.

The thing that I do really like is that Edgewood now has 3 SMDs that are pretty much all in its neighborhood boundaries. This is really a great thing for the neighborhood as before my SMD was half Eckington and half Edgewood in a weird "Z" shape across Rhode Island Avenue NE.  I think that it would also help the Ward 5 ANCs be more even in size and give all of them an odd number of SMDs if Edgewood was with ANC 5C.

Geoffrey Hatchard was kind enough to provide me with a map for this post.  The three Edgewood SMDs are a darker green/blue between the blue ANC 5B and the green ANC 5C.  My thoughts are that we would be better off with the green ANC 5C, but I would really like to hear from fellow Edgewood neighbors on what they think.


What do you think?  Please state in the comments your feelings on where Edgewood should end up in this redistricting process.  Also please email our council member your thoughts and attend the meeting when it is announced.

McMillan Sand Filtration Site Tour: Saturday, 09/17/2011​, starting at 11:00 am

See this message from ANC 5C04 CommissionerJohn Salatti:

Good morning!,

In our neighborhood, we have one of Washington`s most unique places, the McMillan Sand Filtration Site. This 25-acre site bounded by the unit blocks of Michigan Avenue and Channing Street NW and the 2500 through 2900 blocks of First Street NW and North Capitol Street is a mystery to many people. But it need not stay a mystery. To that end, I am pleased to announce that, by popular request, the Site will be open for tours this Saturday, September 17, 2011.

Tours will start at 11:00 a.m. and anyone is welcome (although I must admit that the site if not accessible for someone with a physical impairment). I have included below the waiver form that anyone attending the tour must fill out. So if you can fill out it, sign it, and e-mail it back to me, that would be great. You can also fill out it and bring it with you Saturday morning. That will save a lot of time.

I really encourage people to come and see McMillan, whether you have just moved here and have wondered what that lonely place is up First Street NW, or whether you have lived here all your life and know exactly what the Site is and was. It is both amazing and beautiful.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

John

District of Columbia Redistricting and Edgewood

Last night they released the Ward Redistricting map which will start off the process described below.  After that is done then they will move on to the ANC redistricting.  Ward 5 had a minor adjustment as we got back the Ward 6 "chimney" along New York and New Jersey Aves.  The part I am more interested in is the ANC as Ward 5 only has 3 groups of ANCs (A, B, C) and I am one among many that think that should be changed as they are too large.  I hope that we can get 5 or 6 ANCs which would better serve the neighborhoods and perhaps represent them more efficiently as well.  I would also like to get rid of the zigzag ANC that I reside in which includes Eckington and Edgewood across Rhode Island Ave in a weird "Z" shape.  I feel it would be better to have one that has the neighborhood more intact.  Hopefully Edgewood has grown enough to have 3 full ANC districts instead of the 2.5 that we have now.

ANC 5C08 J. Jioni Palmer Resigns

J. Jioni Palmer was recently appointed the director of communications and public affairs for the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation and had to resign his position as one of the ANC representatives for Edgewood. I am happy for him and his appointment, but sad to lose a great neighborhood leader! I hope that someone is ready to step up to represent Edgewood! I will post an update when information on the special election to fill this position is posted.

Here is his resignation letter:

Tuesday, February 15, 2011

Togo D. West, Jr, Chairman
Board of Elections and Ethics
Government of the District of Columbia
One Judiciary Square
441 4th Street NW, Suite 250 North
Washington, DC 20001

Chairman West:

I have recently accepted a presidential appointment with the Obama Administration, which requires me to resign from my position as Advisory Neighborhood Commissioner, effective upon receipt of this letter.

It was a humbling honor to be elected by my neighbors to serve as Advisory Neighborhood Commissioner, and it has been a pleasure to serve my community, albeit briefly. Although circumstances require I vacate my post, in no way does this diminish my commitment to the issues I championed during the course of my campaign.

As I return to the role of private citizen, I look forward to continuing to work with my neighbors and former colleagues to make Edgewood an even stronger community.

Sincerely,
J. Jioni Palmer
Advisory Neighborhood Commissioner 5C08

Mayor Vincent C. Gray
