Providence Hospital Update

Posted by nextstoprp in Uncategorized

Yesterday, Providence Hospital issued a press release providing more details to explain its previous announcement that the hospital would provide “low-acuity” emergency and attendant services until April 2019, rather than closing down its emergency room on December 14, 2018, as previously anticipated. See press release below.

Providence Health System to Continue Providing Emergency Services through April 30, 2019

Dec 10, 2018

(Washington, D.C.) December 10, 2018 – Reflecting its continued commitment to the residents of the District of Columbia, Providence Health System will operate its Emergency Care Center with necessary support services through the current flu season. The Emergency Care Center will remain open through April 30, 2019 and supported by services needed for emergency care, including lab, diagnostic imaging, respiratory care, discharge planning, and other ancillary services and support. All other Providence services not necessary to support the Emergency Care Center will end as planned on December 14, 2018. Providence will continue to provide services at Carroll Manor as well as primary care and outpatient behavioral health related services.

“This decision reflects our ongoing commitment to serving the needs of the community and was reached following conversations with our internal team, elected officials, the Department of Health, the DC Hospital Association and members of the community,” said Patricia A. Maryland, Dr.PH, Executive Vice President, Ascension, and President and Chief Executive Officer, Ascension Healthcare, the care delivery division of Ascension.

“To support the provision of emergency care, we will continue to provide an appropriate level of supporting services, such as laboratory, imaging and inpatient beds through the end of April,” said Keith Vander Kolk, Providence Health System President and CEO.

“Providence and Ascension remain committed to the District and are pleased to be able to respond to the community need for this extended period,” Dr. Maryland said. “We continue to build a new vision for the future and look forward to partnering with key local leaders in collaboratively building those plans.”

Providence Health System has been engaged in discussions with key local leaders, in addition to examining public and private data to thoughtfully understand and explore how it can best meet the evolving health needs of the District. As Providence embarks on this innovative approach to improve the health of the community, its focus will be inclusive of both health and services not traditionally considered part of healthcare but that have an impact on the health of individuals and communities.

“Changing the focus to providing preventive health and wellness services in collaboration with the community marks a new phase in Providence’s commitment,” said Dr. Maryland. “We want to truly improve the health and well-being of all persons in the community by taking a greater and more active role in their overall healthcare.”
“With that being the case, we will be transforming the services Providence provides with a focus on the specific needs of the community, including primary and behavioral health, senior living and health services, community outreach and engagement; and access to care,” Dr. Maryland said.

“We will build on our longstanding history of servicing the District’s health needs by redeploying our resources, and we are committed to investing upwards of $30 million in the future of Providence.”

What:
Special Community Brainstorming Session Focused on Pedestrian Safety on South Dakota Avenue

When:
Wednesday, December 12, 2018 at 6:30 pm

Where:
Lamond-Riggs Library, Meeting Room 1

Why:
To identify and implement solutions as well as engage community members, elected leaders, and city agencies to make crossing South Dakota Avenue safe for all pedestrians

Please come with your thinking caps on! We will hear  what strategies our neighbors have used thus far, any new ideas for possible future solutions, and determine next steps for a unified approach to continue addressing this concern. Though we will be targeting the Jefferson and Ingraham intersections, we welcome hearing your best practices learned following similar concerns related to traffic safety at other intersections too. Please recognize that this is just the start of  direct joint community engagement and partnership to solve this problem, rather than simply viewing this meeting as an opportunity for a blame game or to bash city government.

All are welcome to attend, so please share this with others.

MBT Progress Report

Posted by nextstoprp in Met Branch Trail

DDOT has a dedicated website for the Metropolitan Branch Trail (MBT) Brookland to Fort Totten extension. The agency posts weekly progress reports and two-week look ahead reports on the site, so it is a good way to stay abreast of where work is being performed and will be performed in the future. At the ANC 5A meeting on November 21, I managed to catch up with DDOT Bicycle Program Specialist Michael Alvino to get an update. I left before his formal presentation to the ANC, as the discussion around Pax Liquor took up most of the meeting. We spoke separately though, and he gave me a few updates on the trail.

The project is being done in phases. Construction work is currently taking place on Phase A near the southern end on John McCormack Drive NE. DDOT is finishing up design for Phase B, the northern end near 1st Place, Gallatin Street, and Fort Totten Drive NE. Residents will start to see some construction impacts near the northern end around February/March 2019, especially those who access Fort Totten metro station from the northwest.

As the most recent progress report notes, the agency has combined Phases C & D. This is the longest and the most complicated portion of the trail, going from Bates Road to 1st Place NE. Part of it will wrap around the Fort Totten metro station tunnel. There have been some concerns that DDOT does not have approval from Metro for this part yet. That is because it is still in the design phase, and Metro is reviewing that part of the plan to make sure everything is okay. Things like what kind and weight of construction equipment will be near the tunnel, adequate plans to properly protect the tunnel during construction operation, are all things that Metro is looking at. In addition, the middle portion will be built close to the train tracks in essentially what is a ditch. That ditch apparently carries stormwater from the Aggregate Industries cement plant. If DDOT is going to cover that ditch with a trail, DDOT will need to have an appropriate stormwater plan in place, so that also needs to be addressed in the design. The design is mostly done, and DDOT does not expect issues with getting the final design approved. Mr. Alvino said he expects construction on this phase to begin around summer 2019.

Mr. Alvino noted that the contractor is behind schedule, but he did state that the project is still on track to be completed in 2020. Expect a visit from DDOT’s team to the neighborhood early next year to discuss the impacts on the northern end near Fort Totten metro station. Until then, be sure to visit the project website for weekly updates.

8,500 Pounds of Turkey – Just Another Thanksgiving at Food and Friends

Posted by nextstoprp in Uncategorized

Guest post by David Kosub

This week, we are getting over that pesky tryptophan-induced narcolepsy, back in the swing of our work lives, buying stuff online for the holidays, and perhaps even giving some back to others in need. In the spirit of giving, I wanted to share this wonderful piece of joy originating right here in our neighborhood.

Food and Friends is a regional nonprofit, located right in our backyard, that provides home-delivered, specialized meals and nutrition counseling for persons tackling   some truly debilitating illnesses. Since 1988, over 31,000 clients and their families have received over 21 million meals.

Each meal aims to serve five people. The best part is this allows those folks, who have relied on the support of their families throughout the year, an opportunity to return the favor and be the one serving them.

Last Thursday, nearly 700 clients and their families received full turkey dinners from Food and Friends. Five hundred volunteers helped prepare these meals and an additional six hundred delivered them across the District, Maryland, and Virginia. Though that is simply astonishing in its own right, check out what exactly the team right around the corner was cooking:

8,520 pounds of roasted Turkey
1,065 pounds of cornbread stuffing
980 pounds of glazed sweet potatoes
1,050 pounds of roasted red potatoes (yum)
780 pounds of seasoned green beans
780 pounds of buttered corn
780 pounds of braised collard greens  (yum again!)
650 pounds of cranberry sauce
76 gallons of butternut squash soup (yes, please!)
94 gallons of gravy
5,600 rolls
1,440 pears, oranges, and apples
1,420 apple and pecan pies

My wife and I have witnessed first-hand how truly passionate the staff are for their clients and families.Though we were unable to volunteer this year, we have delivered these meals for previous Thanksgivings. We still remember how excited and happy everybody was to receive their holiday dinner, and wished we could participate again this time around.

This is a great resource in our neighborhood. Please consider volunteering with them sometime too. They need folks year round to deliver meals throughout the DC metro area, prepping and preparing meals in the kitchen, as well as other special events (such as these coming up this winter). You can also consider donating directly to them if you are unable to volunteer.

Finally, if you know someone who may benefit from their services, please do consider making a referral on their behalf.

Riggs Park Elections By the Numbers

Posted by nextstoprp in ANC 4B, ANC 5A, Ward 4, Ward 5

Guest post by David Kosub

If you are a data junkie like me and find yourself boring your friends and family over Thanksgiving dinner by talking about numbers, then I hope you will find the below information exciting too.

Perhaps because I have too much time on my hands, I pulled the November 2018 general election results data from the District of Columbia Board of Elections. It was recently certified, so this means we can get our hands dirty with data. Here is what Riggs Park looked like by the numbers (percentage numbers are rounded).

Looks like we had a decent turn-out amongst registered voters in Precincts 66 (a.k.a. Wild Ward High-5) and Precinct 65 (a.k.a. Wizards of Ward 4-bearers). We at least did better than the city writ large.

Precinct 66 (Ward 5) Precinct 65 (Ward 4) City-Wide
Registered Voters 5537 3321 500,511
Votes Cast 2949 1710 231,700
Percentage 53.3 51.5 46.3

Spoiler alert. You can stop holding your breath. The Democrats ran the table in city-wide elections. That went for our Precincts of Power too. Arguably, the race for At-Large Member of the Council was probably the one with the most eyes on it. Though Anita Bonds got the most votes in both of our power precincts, we appeared to be split between Elissa Silverman and Dionne Reeder. This could make for some electric chatter at the next LRCA meeting. For reference, (D) is for Democrat, (R) is for Republican, (I) is for Independent, (L) is for Libertarian, and (STG) is for Statehood Green. Also, both undervote and overvote tallies for each race are excluded from these tables for simplicity.

Now, let’s focus our attention on the Ward 5 specific elections – what up Precinct 66! Kenyan McDuffie won the Ward 5 seat. The Ward 5 member for the State Board of Education was likely the more interesting competition across the Ward. Zachary Parker came out on top.

The ANC Single Member District races were notable as well. A couple of the races had some more unpredictable outcomes. Some familiar faces will return, while some new faces are ready to serve.

They are here to serve all of us in the community after all.

Fort Totten – North Michigan Park Pathway to Fort Totten Metro Station Status

Posted by nextstoprp in North Michigan PArk, Public Safety

Guest post by Robert Oliver

The timing of Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton’s appearance at the December 2018 Lamond-Riggs Citizens Association (LRCA) meeting could not be better. This meeting provides the community with an excellent opportunity to discuss a lit, paved path across the portion of Fort Circle Park just east of the Fort Totten Metro station.  The National Park Service (NPS) plans to replace the informal trail connecting Gallatin Street NE and Galloway Street NE with a safe, paved, lit pedestrian path.

The need for a pedestrian path began with the opening of the Fort Totten Metro Station on February 6, 1978. While provisions for parking were made, no additional pedestrian infrastructure was considered.  Over the years, communities both east and west of the Metro Station have created informal trails through the NPS parkland. The Fort Totten neighborhood west of the metro station has a lighted, paved pedestrian path connecting Fort Totten Drive NE and 1st Place NE.  However, the North Michigan Park community, east of the Metro Station, has patiently waited for a paved path since 1978, or 40 years. Finally, some action has been taken.

Beginning on March 7, 2014, NPS issued a scoping notice for an environmental assessment of the social trails and adjacent parkland east of the Metro Station. NPS hosted a community meeting at the UDC Backus Campus on March 19, 2014. At that meeting, NPS explained the objectives of the scoping notice and offered the community four options to consider.

In January 2015, NPS issued its Fort Totten – North Michigan Park Pedestrian Access Improvement Project Environmental Assessment report in which no environmental issues were found. NPS hosted a community meeting at the Lamond-Riggs Library on February 2, 2015, to brief the community on the environmental assessment report.  Next, NPS received approval of its Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) report in compliance with the Department of Interior’s National Historic Preservation Act (NEPA) guidelines on October 28, 2015. Lastly, the National Capital Planning Commission has approved the NPS proposed trail specifications that include “a permeable 10-foot wide trail to replace the existing 320 foot-long informal dirt trail from Galloway Street NE to Gallatin Street NE.” The trail will be composed of asphalt, feature two-foot wide, soil and aggregate shoulders, and feature six lights for illumination. Approval was granted on July 5, 2018.

Location of proposed trail

Despite all of the work accomplished, there is more to be done. Other milestones include building Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant ramps across the street from the path and a storm water management system. Although NPS is working diligently, the construction phase of this project remains unfunded. This is where Congresswoman Norton can be most helpful. She can work at the federal level to secure funding for this worthy and long overdue pedestrian infrastructure. We all look forward to having this conversation with Congresswoman Norton and District officials.

Vote Tischa Cockrell for ANC 4B09

Posted by nextstoprp in ANC 4B

Republishing the blog post originally published on October 10, 2018, on Commissioner Tischa Cockrell’s reelection campaign. Happy pre-election Monday.

Here is a little personal background on Tischa as the current ANC4B09 Commissioner in her words:

Public safety is currently the most important issue facing my Single Member District (SMD) as the Commissioner of ANC4B09. I have conducted several SMD meetings to hear the concerns and suggestions of our residents. I have met with the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD’s) 4th District Commander, lieutenants, seargents, etc., and I recently became the treasurer of the 4th District MPD Citizen’s Advisory Council (CAC) in order to address our community’s issues directly as a concerned leader of our community.

I have partnered with District agencies such as Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR), Office of Neighborhood Safety and Engagement (ONSE), and DC Prevention in an effort to find out what are ways we can teach our youth and curtail crime. I currently walk in the community with the ONSE group engaging residents especially young people. We’ve also sat down with DC Prevention on several occasions to research some of the patterns and behaviors of those involved in certain activities that lead to problems.

I am also fully engaged with residents, businesses, and neighboring ANCs by attending Lamond-Riggs Citizens Association (LRCA) community association meetings, many LRCA committee meetings, our own ANC4B meetings, other ANC SMD meetings, other community meetings, as well as conducting my own monthly SMD meetings and block meetings. I am also sure to invite District agencies, businesses, and developers to those meetings and send out many emails and notices to ensure transparency and distribution of knowledge to our residents. I also helped to plan Riggs Park Day earlier this year in May alongisde DPR, LRCA, and ANC Commissioner Barbara Rogers (4B08).

While being busy doing these things, I have also worked with fellow neighbors to follow up on requests regarding: sidewalk repair, tree pruning, lighting, parking, and crosswalk issues, negotiating with businesses such as Wal-Mart, Riggs Liquors, Culture Coffee, etc. As former Second Vice President of LRCA; Former Chair of the LRCA Youth Development/Recreation committee; current member of the LRCA Public Safety; Newsletter Distribution committee; and Development Taskforce committee, I am dedicated to doing the work of the community to continue our efforts in building a safe and close knit community. I would appreciate your vote on Tuesday, November 6th!

 

Word Association Time: When I say Library, You Think ???

Posted by nextstoprp in Lamond Riggs Library

Guest post by David Kosub

11/3/2018: Post updated with correct email address for Lamond-Riggs Library Friends

Ok, so you know the Lamond-Riggs Library is being completely redone, right? Don’t believe me? Well, read this, this, and this first.

Ok, now back to this post. At a community meeting on October 23, we met the design-build team selected for the library reconstruction, heard about their vision for the library, and also, they got to hear our vision too. It was exciting to see how earlier community feedback, such as that gathered from a survey, is being considered at this stage of the design process—at least one year out from the beginning of construction.

Focus groups broke out during the meeting too. Within my group, you could hear words like “engaging,” “inviting,” “atmospheric,” “airy,” “communal,” “dynamic,” and “innovative” being bantered around the discussion about what we want to experience in the new library. We wanted a place where you could sit around with a cozy book. We wanted a place to learn. We wanted our kids to feel at home. We wanted a place to experience culture. And, importantly, we wanted a place to gather and make our voices heard.

But, there is more to come. Close your eyes. Think of the library in your mind. Now, think about what you want it to become. Perhaps, you see a light-filled atrium with a mom reading to her kiddo on her lap. Maybe there is a high schooler using a 3-D printer and creating something you could have never dreamt. A teleworker sits quietly pecking away on their laptop in a big comfy chair.  There is that senior citizen cataloging his family history photos onto digital media. And, well, say hello to the striking plant in the corner providing a much-needed splash of greenery to the mix.

Do you see something else? Well, let’s hear it at upcoming meetings (perhaps in the comments section below too). This is your opportunity to contribute your special touch to the design and build.  Over the next year, public meetings will be held to ensure as much community feedback as possible.  We all want this library to be a striking and bold addition to the neighborhood, while remaining true to its roots.

Want more information on the project? Check out this link going forward for the latest and greatest info. And be sure to also reach out to the Lamond-Riggs Library Friends group to share your thoughts as well.

Call For Artists: Lamond-Riggs Storm Drain Mural Project

Posted by nextstoprp in Lamond Riggs Citizens Association

Photo Credit: Ariel Trahan

The Anacostia Watershed Society (AWS) and the Lamond-Riggs Citizens Association (LRCA) are seeking artists to create designs and paint murals on a total of 3 storm drains in Lamond-Riggs. The goal of these murals is to raise awareness of storm drains as a connection to our local waterways. Selected artists will receive a commission of $750 per storm drain. This Mural Design competition is open to artists of all ages, including school groups and individual students. Materials (paint and brushes) will be provided.

Designs are due by 5:00 pm on November 16. Mural installation will take place in April 2019. Details at the link.

This project is funded through the Community Stormwater Solutions Grant from the Department of Energy and Environment.

TONIGHT: Lamond-Riggs Library Reconstruction Community Meeting

Posted by nextstoprp in Lamond Riggs Library

Please come out tonight at 7:00 pm to Lamond-Riggs Library to meet the design team selected for reconstruction of the library. DC Public Library officials and HGA design firm will be present to discuss the design schedule and hear ideas from residents.

One thing that has come up in discussion is parking. Some have made the point that Lamond-Riggs Library is one of two libraries in Ward 5, and that it serves some neighborhoods that do not have great metro access. I will go ahead and say that expectations should probably be reined in with respect to getting more parking on the site. There are fewer than 20 parking parking spaces at the current library. It is highly unlikely that library officials will look to build underground parking because that is really really expensive. Tariffs are affecting steel prices so there is already concern that the millions of dollars allocated for the design and construction of a new library will not go as far as officials had envisioned. The library is a comfortable walking distance from Fort Totten metro station, and there is a parking garage nearby at Art Place at Fort Totten. Perhaps there can be discussion down the line about having validated parking at the garage. Maybe DC officials can work to get a bus stop directly outside of the library.

Another issue has been how out-of-the-box the design should be. DCPL has earned a reputation for designing unique neighborhood libraries that tend to elicit strong opinions. I am all for it. Take Woodridge Library. To me, it looks like a cross between a spaceship and a chapel, and I love it. The outdoor space facing the park is beautiful. There are design issues with the space inside as sound carries from one floor to the next. One positive thing about being nearly last in line in library renovations is that DCPL has been able to learn from design challenges at other libraries. One big success for DCPL is the Cleveland Park Library, which was recently completed. It is a really beautiful space, and I think it hits a lot of right notes in terms of design and utility. There are small conference rooms as well as huge meeting rooms that can be subdivided to fit audiences of smaller sizes or opened to easily fit 150 people. There are individual work stations with electrical outlets and charging ports as well as larger tables. There is a nice children’s area on the entrance level where children can be as loud as they want to be. I think it is worth taking a trip up there to see how DCPL really got it right with that redesign.

Come out tonight to learn how residents can shape the reconstruction of the Lamond-Riggs Library. Updates on the library reconstruction are available on the project website at https://www.dclibrary.org/newlamondriggs.

X-Sport Fitness Out at Art Place

Posted by nextstoprp in Uncategorized

Lots of questions about X-Sport Fitness. We reached out to the developer and this is what we can share: The developer of Art Place at Fort Totten terminated its lease with X-Sport Fitness and is negotiating with another health and fitness club to take that space.

Here’s hoping they close the deal soon. I for one am looking forward to being able to walk to a gym in the neighborhood.
