Standard Reports Requested Presentations Voting Actions Community Feedback Commissioner Reports Resolution: Safety Improvements Florida Ave Whereas, in 2018, the number of pedestrian and bicyclist deaths has increased by 20% in Washington, DC, and Whereas, Florida Ave NE has deficient pedestrian accommodation, unsafe bicycle access, limited right-of-way, and chronic vehicular speeding problems that have led to multiple crashes as numerous intersections that have resulted in injuries and fatalities, and Whereas, the risk of pedestrian fatalities is 45% when vehicle speeds are in the 30 to 35 mph range, and dramatically increases to 80% when auto speeds exceed 40 mph according to the Institute of Transportation Engineers, and Whereas, the District of Columbia Department of Transportation has validated in a 2015 study that Florida Avenue NE maintains a chronic speeding problem with average speeds posting at ~30 -40 mph with peaks speeds reaching 70 mph, and Whereas, District of Columbia Department of Transportation 2015 study recommendation for Florida Ave NE from West Virginia Ave to H Street/Benning Road does not do enough to improve safety and address known issues, and Whereas, Florida Ave NE improvements have been connected to the Florida Ave and New York Ave NE intersection project timeline which is not expected to begin until Fall 2020 - Spring 2021, and Whereas, ANC 5 D residents, students, and users of Florida Ave NE seek a street that more adequately accommodates all users while improving safety and the overall livability of our neighborhoods; Be it Resolved, that ANC 5 D requests the District of Columbia Department of Transportation: • Execute, as soon as feasible, an interim solution to reduce vehicular speeds and improve safety for pedestrians and bicyclists along Florida Ave NE, ahead of the large Florida Ave and New York Ave NE intersection project that will not be completed for at least 4 -5 years.

Standard Reports Requested Presentations Voting Actions Community Feedback Commissioner Reports Resolution: Cure Violence Funding for ANC 5 D Whereas, The NEAR Act of 2016 which unanimously passed the Council of the District of Columbia was enacted in large part due to a 2015 uptick in homicides; and Whereas, The NEAR Act is based on the successful Cure Violence model, a model which uses a public-health approach to violence through three primary means including: (1) interruption of potentially violent conflicts by preventing retaliation and mediating ongoing disputes; (2) identifying and assisting individuals at the highest risk for conflict by providing support services and changing behavior; and (3) engaging communities in changing norms around violence by organizing community responses to counter the normalization of violence; and Whereas, The Office of Neighborhood Safety and Engagement “ONSE” as well as the Office of the Attorney General “OAG” have both implemented the Cure Violence model, and Whereas, Ward 5 residents experienced 21 homicides in 2018 with 9 of those homicides occurring in ANC 5 D alone, and Whereas, Selected ANC 5 D communities having already implemented the Cure Violence model have seen anecdotal evidence of decreased murders and violence associated with these programs; therefore be it Resolved, That ANC 5 D requests great weight be given to its request for additional Cure Violence resources for communities in Ward 5 and specifically ANC 5 D.
