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 -

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