NY Ave Kiosk

Tomorrow night there will be a discussion with a representative from the DC Real Estate Services regarding the NY Ave Library Kiosk.  A group of Hanover neighbors talked two weeks ago about what they saw as the priorities, and here are some points of consensus.

The proposed RFP (request for proposals) will not include the park, playground or recreation center, which is good.  All of us want to see those spaces protected.

We want significant community involvement throughout the process AND we want the new use of that space to continue to benefit the community and allow us to be involved.

We want the space to benefit all ages and people in the community, and want that to be a requirement in whatever agreement is reached regarding the kiosk.

NY Ave Kiosk

The DC Office of Real Estate Services will come to the HACA meeting on Nov 18th to discuss the NY Ave kiosk and the playground, as well as answer questions.  To identify what our community would like for the space, there is a special meeting Nov 4 at 7 pm at the CAPCS building. Please join us if you can!
