GOAL 4:  PROMOTE PERSONAL-AGENCY, ACTIVE CITIZENSHIP, RESPONSIVE PUBLIC OFFICIALS

Helping Ivy City residents stay informed and integrated in public policy decisions

The Ivy City Civic Association is credited with stopping a proposal that would have turned the Crummell School site into a bus depot.  The unimaginable health concerns of idling vehicle exhaust and toxic runoff were averted by community activism.

​

Still, there is more that can be done.  Can pressure be put on the city and developers to ensure the Crummell School development is inclusive of social cohesion accelerators like a vocational school, day care, health clinic, and a recreational center?  If not, can community activists ensure these are included in other developments?
