KUDOS

tto Doug Ormerod for his outstanding efforts as Chair of the PCA Planning Coordination Committee.

to Nanette Spencer, special assistant to DC Councilmember Harold Brazil, for taking the time to attend our February PCA general meeting—and for listening intently right up until the end when she finally got a chance to emphasize that Mr. Brazil would like our input: write to 441 4th Street NW, Suite 701, DC 20001 or e-mail to hbrazil@dccouncil.washington.dc.us.

to Luis and Mirta Rubio, new residents on Loughboro Road, who took it upon themselves to fill in a muddy and unsafe curb area where bus riders get on and off buses across the street from Sibley Hospital. Metrobus had long neglected requests to improve the bus stop. (Submitted by ANC 3D Commissioner Patrick Shaughness.)
