Thursday, April 28, 2011 Sitting Outdoors and planning for small public spaces by Richard Layman One of the things we don't seem to do very well is plan for...
And the mini-parks we have are done horribly. The oak/ogden park on 14th is just hideous. The 'seats' look like the flower holders at a cemetery and there is...

All - my friends and I rent 1366 Perry Pl. There are rats living underneath our garage. I called the city to request an inspection and bait. The claim number...
I unfortunately live right by the park and get the joy of seeing it every day. I lived there before the target went in, and saw it in a few phases, and the...

Parks should be a place for the community to gather and enjoy the outdoors. Unfortunately, the community continues to struggle with public drinking and drugs. ...
Are you familiar with the park? When the seating goes away, the problems you highlighted do not just go away. Its nothing more than a shove slightly out of...

This is a pure cop-out. No way is public drinking preventing this community from having quality spaces. These issues are well within our ability to handle....
Good Lord, William. It always amazes me how quick you are to criticize everyone else, but never actually offer a legitimate solution. In all of your years in ...
According to this week's NW Current, CM Graham is pushing a plan which will have affect of increasing burdens in neighborhoods such as Columbia Heights, Park...
Of course I have a plan, which is why I am raising the issue. But first I need to get us the shake the cop-out attitude and a willingness to go for the...
Hi everybody, Did you hear about Mayor Gray's proposal to extend liquor store hours to midnight? Many D.C. communities already contain too many harmful...
Are there any statistics that back your stance? Ie - areas with extended hours of sales vs social impact? Or is It just an easy pass off for parents to shift...
What exactly are you doing? Most people that are bothered by the activities going on just seem to wander past and bitch/moan online rather than actually doing...

Ms. McIntire, I was referring to crime and criminal activity. I'm sure that not even you would take a position supporting either. However, it does not surprise...
There are too distinct options for us. One favored by Gus, CM Graham and others, design public space down to a lower standard based on our fears, mistrusts,...
Before I fire off an email to CM Graham about this, a question: is it my imagination, or are the streets in Columbia Heights frequently not being cleaned each...
