ANC Meeting, Civic Core Survey, Air Quality Project & More
Hi Neighbors,
I hope you and your family are doing well! With summer break starting for some and DCPS wrapping up the school year on June 18, here are a few neighborhood updates and reminders to keep you in the loop.
ANC Meeting June 9, 2025
The ANC’s next meeting is Monday, June 9 at 6:30 PM. It’s been great to see new faces, and I hope more of you will join us! You can review the agenda and register here.
ANC Survey on the Civic Core Site
ANC 3/4G is currently gathering community feedback through an anonymous survey, available here: 3/4G ANC Survey. To help you compare the proposed concepts, you can view the reference designs here: Civic Core Survey Concept Designs. For additional background and to explore materials from earlier phases of the project, please visit the full project page here Chevy Chase Civic Site .
Thank you to everyone who has responded to previous surveys and already provided me with comments on this topic. The ANC asks that you please complete the survey to ensure your input is reflected. Additional opportunities to provide feedback are expected during engagement sessions with DCPL, DPR, and DMPED after a developer is selected and the next phase of the project begins.
PurpleAir Sensor Project
DC’s Department of Energy and Environment (DOEE) is expanding its air quality monitoring across the District by offering residents the chance to host free PurpleAir sensors, which track neighborhood-level air pollution. The program is simple: if you have a home with an exterior plug facing the street, you're eligible to receive a loaned air sensor from the District government. The sensor will enable you to check the local air quality outside your home 24/7 and will appear on the PurpleAir map. You can host the sensor as long as you'd like. If you’re interested, you can sign up at this link. Once you sign up, someone from DOEE will then reach out to set up a time to come by and install the sensor, which most often consists of simply plugging it in and zip tying it to a post or something similar. If you have any questions, please reach out to Henry Frishman at henry.frishman@dc.gov
Transportation Meetings & Updates

To report potholes, please submit a request via 311. DDOT's standard is to repair potholes within three business days (72 hours) of the time they are reported.

Utility Alerts
I’ve heard more complaints about the sewer lining project and wanted to flag again the Office of the People’s Council regarding DC water complaints. You can review the alert here: DC Water Construction Complaints.
The next alert is related to the upcoming electricity rate increase. The alert can be found here: Press Release: OPC Alerts DC Consumers of Upcoming Huge Electric Rate Increase.
Please forward the following message to anyone you may know: Contact OPC @ 202.727-3071 or info@opc-dc.gov if you need help with utility bills. OPC can refer you to bill payment assistance and negotiate with utilities for you.
DC Water has launched a redesigned online portal that makes it simpler and easier to donate to the SPLASH Program, which supports residents facing financial hardship. Fully funded by donations, SPLASH provides up to $350 in assistance to ensure access to essential water and sewer services. Please see the press release highlighting the new SPLASH program.
