Draft Map Reflects Suggestions Made

In response to the letter from Mr. Noonan, Mr. Fengler and Ms. Flather (see page 4), Ms. Grant sent the following by e-mail to various people on Wednesday...

I incorporated these suggestions into a draft map, just to see how it would affect the neighboring PSAs. Attached [is a picture] of the latest version should we go with the suggestions outlined below in the compromise resolution.

I decided to bring the proposed PSA 101 over to the east rather than bringing PSA 104 further north, since PSA 104 is already so large. The only recommendation I could find for a southern boundary for this area was that it not be on Constitution Avenue, so I made it D Street NE (the current boundary between PSAs 106 and 107/108 in the existing 83-PSA model). Also, we received a suggestion the other day to accommodate more of the Eastern Market neighborhood into PSA 106, so I moved the western boundary of this PSA from 7th Street NE to 6th Street NE.

As you can see, PSA 101 is going to be a very large PSA. We may need to divide this in half, or as the Commanders have suggested, staff it with more than one lieutenant and perhaps a captain.

I have left messages for the remaining ANCs in the first district; I will send this to them also as soon as I get additional contact information. §
