<P>President, CVCA<BR><BR><BR>----Original Message Follows----<BR>From: "crg" <langwidge@erols.com><BR>Reply-To: Charles Village Discussion List <Discussion@charlesvillage.info><BR>To: "'Charles Village Discussion List'" <Discussion@charlesvillage.info>,"'The Charles Village Chat List'" <Chat@charlesvillage.info><BR>Subject: [Discussion] sewer line<BR>Date: Wed, 27 Jul 2005 18:51:29 -0400<BR><BR>Posted for Christian Wilson<BR><BR><BR><BR>"Last night leaders and members of the Peabody Heights Alliance, Remington<BR>Neighborhood Alliance and Hamden Community Council, along with folks from<BR>the various neighborhoods, attended a meeting with the city and the<BR>engineers involved in the new power sewer line moving throughout the City,<BR><BR>in part, across all of 27th Street in Charles Village. Also in the<BR><BR>audience were, Delegates
Marriott and Pugh and Council Representatives<BR>Clarke and Conaway, and Delegate Goodwin has also been involved with the<BR>communities in this. Other community associations in Charles Village were<BR>invited to attend since this is the major project that will have great<BR>impact on Charles Village, but no representation by the other CV<BR>associations was noted.<BR><BR><BR><BR>Along with Hampden and Remington, Peabody Heights has worked to alert people<BR>along the line of the existence of this project, has encouraged attendance<BR>at the meetings, asked important questions of the engineers, and contacted<BR>the City with serious concerns about the impact on the affected residential<BR>and business communities. Because of all of our concern with respect to<BR>this issue, we are pleased to report that City has agreed to
the<BR><BR>following:<BR><BR><BR><BR>1. No night time construction to be accomplished during this building of<BR>the sewers along this route. This is of great importance because of the<BR>densely residential areas to be affected.<BR><BR>2. Special barriers to be put up as construction is accomplished from one<BR>street to another.<BR><BR>3. Mailed announcements to be sent to the various properties along the<BR>route to advise them when the process will be in their areas, when<BR>inspectors will be taking videos and photos of the exterior of properties<BR>(and, if permitted inside, interior) to document the condition of the<BR>properties prior to any impact occurring during the excavation.<BR><BR>4. City representatives now set to personally tour the line to be sure that<BR>all properties abutting the construction will
receive notification.<BR><BR>Previously they were set to alert only those listed on water bills as having<BR>27th St. addresses. Without our involvement, many of the directly affected<BR>properties in Charles Village who have addresses listed along the major<BR>streets such as Maryland, Charles, St. Paul, N. Calvert, N. Guilford, etc.<BR>but still abut 27th St. would have missed notification.<BR><BR>5. Specialists and specialized equipment to monitor the vibrations during<BR>construction to ensure the best possible protection for the properties<BR>directly affected by the construction.<BR><BR>6. Attempts to be made to provide additional parking where available.<BR><BR>7. Emergency numbers and contacts for residents, businesses and property<BR>owners during construction.<BR><BR>8. Providing procedures for presenting claims should any
occur from the<BR>construction. This will be printed in the Hampden Happenings, the monthly<BR>newsletter of the Hampden Community Council.<BR><BR>9. Placards and other signs to be posted around the area shortly before<BR>construction begins to alert others in the community of the work, the<BR>parking restrictions and travel obstacles.<BR><BR>10. Complete repair of the road along the route rather than the originally<BR>intended patching alone.<BR><BR><BR><BR>This is an on-going project to be involved in to protect our historic and<BR>residential neighborhood."<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>Discussion mailing list<BR>Discussion@charlesvillage.info<BR>http://charlesvillage.info/mailman/listinfo/discussion_charlesvillage.info<BR></P></DIV></div></html>
