There is also a nagging concern, dating back to the first 'Neighorhood Action' forum in late 1999, on the six categories chosen.

For the Foxhall community, the score is decidly mixed. On streets we only got half of the requested new signage, no broad-striping of pedestrian crossings, and only some of the requested parking spot removals that block safe viewing when exiting from neighborhood streets. For resurfacing, DOT's inventory of needs flat out missed some of our streets in worst condition while including for 2001 some that are only marginally bad. Naturally, we're working on getting that corrected, but it is discouraging what a dismal institutional memory some city agencies have. New playground equipment and installation was by our local volunteers, with the city only belatedly installing border timbers and woodchips.
