WHEREAS, the 4400 and 4500 blocks of Reno Road,
NW are within the boundary of ANC 3F; and
WHEREAS, Reno Road is heavily used by pedestrians
of all ages, particularly
those with baby strollers and
school age children, traveling to the numerous
schools in the immediate neighborhood;
and
WHEREAS, the only sidewalk available to pedestrians
in these blocks is on the
west side of Reno Road; and
WHEREAS, Reno Road is a heavily traveled commuter
route; and
WHEREAS, ANC 3F has been presented with a petition
with 48 signatures
representing 38 homes including all the affected
abutting residents on the east side of
Reno. The petition states:
We, the undersigned, urge the DC government
to pave a sidewalk along
the east side of Reno Road from Yuma
to Appleton Streets so that
pedestrians can safely cross at the
light on Albemarle Street on this
curving, hilly and fast-moving section
of Reno Road; and
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT: ANC 3F recommends
the
installation of a sidewalk along these blocks on the east
side of Reno Road while
maintaining all the wheelchair curb cuts at their present
locations. ANC 3F urges
DDOT to consult with the Urban Forestry Administration
to take special care to protect
the street trees likely to be impacted by this project.
