Since September, 2004, graduate students of the Urban Studies and
Planning Program at the University of Maryland have been conducting a
study of the Tenleytown commercial corridor in conjunction with
Tenleytown Neighbors Association. Based on an analysis of interviews,
field inventories, focus groups, and other data, the study team has
developed a series of recommendations to help guide the corridor's
future.
Please join us for a discussion on revitalizing the corridor.
CRIMES OF INTEREST IN THE HOOD
**** Apparently there is an upswing in home burglaries in our area.
Make sure doors and windows are locked. It's a good idea to have
storm windows or bars on basement windows. Check you house for
places where an intruder could gain entry fairly easily.

DO NOT CALL LIST FOR CELL PHONES
From: Amy McVey <amybmcvey@msn.com>
A directory of cell phone numbers will soon be published, and all
consumers will have access to it. This will open the doors for
solicitors
to call you on your cell phones, using up precious minutes that we pay
lots of money for. The Federal Trade Commission has set up a "do not
call"
list. It is called a cell phone registry. To be included on the "do not
call" list,
you must call from the number you wish to register. The number is
1-888-382-1222, or you can go to their web site at http://www.donotcall.gov
and add your number to the do not call list. Give this to friends who
have
cell phones.
MORE ON VEHICLE REGISTRATION RENEWAL
From: Marion Connell <mfconnell@msn.com>
Your remarks about renewal of motor vehicle registration will be
helpful
to many I am sure but please don't forget that this can also be easily
accomplished on line by going to www.dc.gov and looking for the right
prompts. That's how I did it this year and it saved me a lot of time.
UPDATE ON LEAF COLLECTION
From: Pagano, Penny (COUNCIL) <ppagano@dccouncil.us>
Here is an update on leaf collection that Mary Myers, public
information
officer at DPW, provided Councilmember Kathy Patterson's office today:
"Leaf collection is a two-month process, not an overnight service.
Residents
should rake leaves to the tree box and keep fire hydrants and storm
drains
clear. Each half of Ward 3 is scheduled for three, two-week
collections.
Neighborhoods east of Chain Bridge Road are still in their first
collection
cycle. The second collection begins west of Chain Bridge Road next
Monday.
DPW has crews in Ward 3 picking up leaves, five days a week, for the
entire
10 weeks of leaf season including Thanksgiving. The workers must rake
the
leaves from the curbside and from between parked cars so that they can
be
vacuumed. Additionally, wet leaves take longer to vacuum than dry
leaves."
