Recap Shaed School Building Surplus Meeting

The meeting was packed into the small field house that we call the Edgewood Recreation Center- it was crowded, hot and hard to hear so I was not there for the whole meeting and did not hear everything said while I was there either.  If you had a better seat or were able to hear more please add your input in the comments for this post.

The general message from DGS is that DCPS has released the building and any charter schools that are interested in using it have until August 30th to file an application.  While I was told in the past that there were no charter schools interested it seems that now there are including some Montessori schools.  The first rights for the building go to a charter school.  I know that there are quite a few families with young children (or children on the way) in the neighborhood that would love to be able to walk their children to a Montessori school.  In fact some neighbors have moved because of the lack of quality schools in our neighborhood.  While there is a whole separate debate about charter schools and what they mean for our school system I do not feel the need to engage in that and simply want to support what is best for our community.  A great school that we can walk to would be a terrific amenity.  That said the push should be to get a great school and then to ensure that there is a neighborhood priority for enrollment.  It does us no good to get a great new charter school and then be unable to get neighborhood children enrolled in it!!

There was also a lot of loud opposition to a charter school and talk of use of the building for a recreation center.  The idea of making a community center (one that I have been advocating for over the years) out of the building that includes DPR use as well as nonprofit use and programming would be a community amenity whose value would be immense if run properly.  But if that cannot be done as there may be a new school going into the school building then the community needs to come together and demand that we still get an improved recreation center and programming.  There is no reason that we cannot have both a great school and a new recreation center.  The land use for the Edgewood neighborhood is poorly designed and maintained with proper planning we could keep our outdoor space and create a new recreation center with indoor space as well.  Within the past five years there was $14-15 million in the DC budget to do just that but that money was moved to another community.  We need to fight to get the money back in the budget and create the space that can be enjoyed by all ages.

I did hear the people in the front of the meeting say they need to hear from the community about what we want-  my thoughts on this is that they are just not listening!!  For years many different people and groups, myself included, have been advocating for improved recreational facilities and programming in the Edgewood neighborhood and it is time the city takes action! 

Please contact CM McDuffie and ensure that he is taking action and supporting our needs!  He needs to be a leader on this issue!

Big Week for Edgewood

Tonight is the meeting for the surplusing of the Edgewood Shaed Elementary School Building.  It is important that everyone attend to give their input of what happens to the building.  I have been advocating for turning it into a Recreation Center/Nonprofit building which would host classes and activities for the community.  Others in the neighborhood would like it to become a charter school and with all the new children in the neighborhood that idea has merits as well especially if a quality school would like to open. 
The meeting is at the Edgewood Recreation Center hosted by DGS.

For those of you that do not follow me on Twitter-  I wanted to add a blog post about the starting of construction of the pedestrian bridge for the Metropolitan Branch Trail to the Rhode Island Avenue metro station.  Ever since I moved to Edgewood over 5 years ago now I have been following the developments around this much needed bridge and how it will change the daily lives of so many of my neighbors for the better!  I have been pushing DDOT, the DC Council members and mayor for a start date and this week it is happening!  The bridge should be completed by December 2014/February 2015.  The project has its own website so we can follow the progress -   http://rhodeislandavepedbridge.com/_layouts/15/start.aspx#/SitePages/Home.aspx

Two of the biggest issues in Edgewood are moving forward this week which is really exciting! 

Garden Workshop: Starting Seeds on Tuesday 3/19 @ 7pm

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD!! Shaed and Edgewood Recreation Center

I ask for all of my neighbors to write to our Mayor and Councilmembers to ask them to support what we have been asking for for years for the Edgewood community.

Please feel free to use my email below to help you with yours!  The more voices they hear from the less likely the will continue to ignore us!

Send your email to these people:

kmcduffie@dccouncil.us; vorange@dccouncil.us,  abonds@dccouncil.us, dgrosso@dccouncil.us, apritchard@dccouncil.us, cwilson@dccouncil.us, jbrown@dccouncil.us, lmobley@dccouncil.us, eom@dc.gov,  one@dc.gov, marchim.williams@dc.gov, francisco.fimbres@dc.gov

Here is my email:

I wanted to write to you to ask for your help with two community concerns in my neighborhood. The Edgewood Recreation Center is a field house with little to no programming and inadequate facilities for the size of our community. For years community groups have advocated for improved facilities and programming at the Edgewood Recreation Center, but the closest we have come to funding was a few years ago when the money was added to the budget and then taken from us and given to another recreation center. A few years ago DCPS decided to shutter our neighborhood school, Shaed Elementary, during their reconciliation efforts. Since then it has remained an empty, neglected building in the middle of our neighborhood.


These two neighborhood issues can be used together to create a solution for both problems and enhance our neighborhood. By using the Shaed Elementary building to create a community and recreation center for the Edgewood neighborhood a true community amenity could be created ridding us of an abandoned building and fixing the lack of resources created by taking the money from the center in previous budgets. Working together with different DC government agencies and non-profits something truly special could be created in our neighborhood that could attract residents from throughout the city. Different programming for all ages and abilities would allow for the building of community and individual development at the same time which should be the goal of any One City venture. Exercise classes, dance classes, sports programming, after school tutoring, job training, community meeting space, computer classes, music classes, health clinics, cooking classes, art classes- I could go on and on with the options.,

Please consider adding funding to the budget to help make this vision a reality fixing the neglect that has occurred over the years and replacing it with something the whole city can enjoy and be a source of pride.

Edgewood Community Garden

Please see the message below about the expansion of the Edgewood Community Garden this year!  This is a great community amenity and a way to meet your neighbors!  I am excited that they are taking over from me and expanding the garden!!  Please read below and join them.

Good Morning!

I want to make sure everyone know they don't have to sign up for the WHOLE day on the dates listed.  If you can come for an hour, 2, 3, 5, etc., that is AOK!  Whatever you can do, will be great!  Just respond back to this e-mail and let us know, when you know, which date(s) you would like to help out. 

Also!  If you have kids, bring 'em on down!  There is a playground next to where the garden is and a soccer field and so many wonderful things for the kids to be involved with, not just playing in dirt (who didn't love playing or even eating dirt as a kid?!). 

And lastly, we intend on having food and drinks available on these days, so knowing how many can help out ahead of time will ensure that we will have enough on hand.  Of course, this is still a few weeks away, so we just want to make sure that we at least given everyone a head start in planning ahead. 

We are looking forward to seeing, meeting you in April!  Thank you for considering in volunteering your time with us in building a garden in the Edgewood DC neighborhood, in Ward 5!

Dear Friends of Edgewood,


Today (Wednesday) we will begin the first of several projects at the Edgewood Recreation Center. For the first we will be moving soil onto the upper level of the picnic area, where we will then plant blueberries and flowers which we purchased over the weekend. We would love it if you could join us (many hands make light work!). We will begin at 7 pm. (3rd and Evarts Street NE)
