Mayor Fenty to "walk-through" Rosedale Friday 10/10

Mayor Fenty will conduct another Rosedale neighborhood "walk-through" this Friday, October 10 @ 11:30AM to spot-inspect some of the Ward 6 Core Team's improvement efforts and continue his review of the Rosedale neighborhood. He will be accompanied by a multi-DC agency task force, including Forest Hayes, Co-Ward 6 Outreach and Services Specialist.

Mayor Fenty has designated Rosedale as a "Focus Improvement Area" to help expedite city service requests. Many improvement successes have already been executed, see here.

The Walk-through will begin at the Rosedale Recreation Center, on the corner of 17th & Gales Streets. His walk-through will include the Rosedale neighborhood between 17th & 19th Streets.



Residents are encouraged to attend. Forest Hayes (Forest.hayes@dc.gov, office -202.727.3624, cell - 202.251.5049) has asked that you contact him so you can be included on the invitee list.

Follow-up to the Mayor's Rosedale Walk-thru

The Rosedale neighborhood has been selected as a "Focus Improvement Area" by the Mayor's Office, allowing DC services to be expedited for the community.

In the spring 2008, Mayor Fenty, and his entourage of City officials, walked a portion of the Rosedale neighborhood identifying and generating a list of deficiencies the various DC government agencies could readily "improve", including: removing trash/debris piles, cutting overgrown vegetation, repaving alleys, securing vacant properties, issuing warning violations and removing graffiti.

Mayor Fenty was scheduled to return to the same area yesterday, October 10 @ noon, to personally witness the improvements. Here are a few before and after photographs provided by Caroline Jhingory, Ward 6 Outreach and Services Specialist for the Mayor's Office of Community Relations and Services, who coordinated and managed the multi-agency efforts.







A huge thank you to Caroline Jhingory (caroline.jhingory2@dc.gov) and her service team members. Their efforts and hard-work are not only testimony to the Mayor's commitment to providing excellent service to DC citizens, but also the folks on the ground making it happen.
