Since this blog has been following the fairly contentious issue of the dog park at Bundy School parking lot. Please see this blog post below from http://www.ccca-online.org/node/34
Tonight, Robin-Eve Jasper [ robin.jasper@dc.gov ], the Director of the DC Office of Property Management, personally appeared at the East Central Civic Association meeting to rally support for the biggest parking lot in Shaw in the vacant lot behind Bundy School. The community only learned of the plans to transfer the land to the new tenants of the Bundy School building to use as a parking lot on June 22, after the submission of a petition from Friends of Bundy Park to establish a dog park on the site forced the OPM to lift the lid on their secrecy.
The CCCA supports the Friends of Bundy Park’s initiative to create a dog park on this site. Kevin Chapple, the ANC commissioner for the area which includes the site, supports the establishment of a dog park. Over 300 residents of the community have signed a petition in favor of a dog park. Having a parking lot there, with little pedestrian traffic, will ensure that the 400 block of P Street NW will continue to be a dark, menacing, and dangerous place after dark. Having a space for people from the neighborhood and their pets would, we believe, bring life to that now desolate block.
The CCCA and the Friends of Bundy spent weeks reaching out to the OPM, only to be referred to a low level official in the OPM. Yet, the Director herself went to the ECCA meeting to whip up support for the largest parking lot in Shaw.
What can you do if you don’t want this huge parking lot, and you would rather have space for people and pets from the neighborhood?
1.Go to the meeting that the OPM is holding on July 9, 2009, at 7:00PM in the auditorium of Scott Montgomery Elementary School, at 421 P Street NW. Speak up. Bring signs and banners. Tell them you will not stand for the creation of a huge parking lot.2.Write to Mayor Adrian Fenty [ adrian.fenty@dc.gov ]. Tell him that you will remember this attempt to foist this parking lot on us. Demand the resignation of OPM Director Robin-Eve Jasper for her dishonest dealings with the Shaw community.
3.Write to Councilmember Jack Evans [ jackevans@dccouncil.us ]. Tell him that you want him to stick up for space for people and pets, not unnececessary asphalt, in our part of Ward 2.
4.If you have not signed the petition for the dog park, sign it.
5.If you have not signed the petition against the parking lot, sign it.

Are the petitions available online?
Hey sorry about that I inserted the appropriate links now withing the post so you can link right to the petitions. thanks.
On Shaw list:
One more thing – since the vacant lot behind Bundy School is federal land, and it is therefore Congress which determines whether ownership of this land gets transferred to use as a parking lot, tell Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton that you oppose the transfer of this land to use as a parking lot, and that the Shaw community must be consulted on the use of this land.
