Dr. Douglas Reed, the author of the very informative book, "Building the Federal Schoolhouse", which contains a large amount of information on TC Williams High School, will speak at each session. All sessions will be via Zoom from 6-7 pm. The first session will be <strong>Thursday, September 24th, </strong>and will discuss who TC Williams was, and his role as School Superintendent, and as a segregationist in Alexandria. The second session will be held on <strong>Thursday, October 1st</strong>, and will cover Alexandria's Role in Massive Resistance and Segregation. The third lecture will be <strong>Thursday, October 8th, </strong>and is titled The Real Story Behind Remember the Titans. You can learn more about these programs at the ACPS website at <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://dphen1.com/cgi-bin/dada/mail.cgi/r/semhillassoc/265105825899/&source=gmail&ust=1600475452985000&usg=AFQjCNH9sB2HoKw7-UhG8i9A1TGX0OgWtw" href="http://dphen1.com/cgi-bin/dada/mail.cgi/r/semhillassoc/265105825899/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">https://www.acps.k12.va.us/<wbr></wbr>Page3412</a>. All lectures will be taped for viewing if you are not able to watch them live.</p><p style="background-color: #fefefe; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">The second important meeting will be the Community meeting to be held regarding the Taylor Run Stream Restoration project. This meeting will be held via Zoom on Tuesday, <strong>September 29th </strong>at 7:00 pm. As you may be aware, this project is intended to help meet the City's requirement to reduce the City's pollution load to the Chesapeake Bay, but as now planned, will involve serious environmental damage, including the loss of approximately 270 trees and irreversible damage to a rare wetland swamp found along the stream bed in the Chinquapin Heritage Trail. The Seminary Hill Association is very concerned about the impact of this plan and earlier this summer had asked the City to halt planning for this project until further information could be provided to residents. Nevertheless, during the summer, the planning proceeded ahead and now residents will be presented with a plan that is basically complete, but we are being asked for our input. Please go to the newly-created website for this project at <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://dphen1.com/cgi-bin/dada/mail.cgi/r/semhillassoc/820118053478/&source=gmail&ust=1600475452985000&usg=AFQjCNFgYC3vcH51UryKrPqOntAOwB-J8w" href="http://dphen1.com/cgi-bin/dada/mail.cgi/r/semhillassoc/820118053478/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">http://www.alexandriava.<wbr></wbr>gov/tes/stormwater/info/<wbr></wbr>default.aspx?id=117629</a> to read more about this project and register to participate in this Zoom meeting</p><p style="background-color: #fefefe; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Finally, we were just informed about the invitation to participate in a virtual presentation on a Joint City and ACPS Facilities Master Plan (JFMP) We are asked to view the pre-recorded 12-minute visual presentation which discusses the need to maximize the use of public lands for multiple uses. This does, of course, include other uses on school grounds. After viewing it, you will be directed to a survey to provide feedback about your thoughts on the joint use of city facilities. As is the case with all surveys, you will notice a certain phrasing of the questions that can make it difficult to express your point of view. So please take the opportunity to write comments in the spaces provided if you do not feel that the questions can adequately reflect your thoughts. The website for more information and the survey is <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://dphen1.com/cgi-bin/dada/mail.cgi/r/semhillassoc/560666343363/&source=gmail&ust=1600475452985000&usg=AFQjCNHlG19np_mtqXLnJZvMeHGd2tX11Q" href="http://dphen1.com/cgi-bin/dada/mail.cgi/r/semhillassoc/560666343363/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">https://www.alexandriava.gov/<wbr></wbr>planning/info/default.aspx?id=<wbr></wbr>113618#MeetingsandEvents. </a>The very short deadline for responses to this survey is <strong>September 30th,</strong> so please try to find a few minutes to register your thoughts before the City closes the survey.</p><p style="background-color: #fefefe; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">For those who are interested in the project planned to build an apartment building and 15 townhomes on 2 single family lots adjacent to Fire Station 206 on Seminary Road, we want to provide an update. Along with neighborhood residents, Seminary Hill Association did testify at the September 8th City Council meeting, where pre-development loans were approved for 3 affordable housing projects located in areas of the city. Council did approve the $250,000 loan for the Seminary Road project, but in response to questions raised by SHA and neighbors, the approval came with a contingency. Thanks to the efforts of Council members Amy Jackson, Mo Seifeldein, and John Chapman, city staff was instructed to address, either in writing or by a virtual meeting, the concerns we raised regarding the topography and water issues on this stretch of property. A response from T&ES staff is expected next week. The developer attended the SHA meeting on September 10th and assured us that they will work closely with us as they proceed to determine if the project is possible. Seminary Hill will continue to monitor this project, as our initial reaction to the proposal is that this is a very inappropriate location to consider this kind of density in an area zoned for single-family homes with serious water issues, not only for the property in question but for all the neighbors surrounding the property.</p><p style="background-color: #fefefe; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">The design for MacArthur School was approved by City Council on September 12th, so we can expect to begin seeing the demolition process in the near future. You should be aware that the initial budget for the school was $695 million. During the design process, the budget apparently grew to $77.5 million, although the members of the MacArthur Advisory Committee were not aware of the increase during this time. Recent statements from ACPS indicate that the budget could now be $5 million over even that latest estimate. ACPS is in the process of trying to make adjustments to the project that can reduce the cost. Much of the cost overrun is alleged to come from the need for the underground parking garage in order to accommodate the larger staff and activities at the school. In addition, the school is scheduled to be a Net Zero energy building with solar panels, and the cost of the solar panels, which ACPS considered to be a future addition to the building, is not included in the latest cost estimates.</p><p style="background-color: #fefefe; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Thank you for participating in these events as you are able. The Seminary Hill Association will continue to do our best to monitor proposals that the City is pushing out at a rapid pace, and inform you of meetings and other events. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have concerns or issues you would like the Association to address. We are here to hear your concerns and represent you to the best of our ability. As a reminder, our next SHA board meeting will be <strong>Thursday, October 8th</strong> at 7:00 pm. More information will be posted about this meeting later this month</p><p style="background-color: #fefefe; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Carter Flemming, President, Seminary Hill Association</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3903147870802730653.post-42138911430476156182020-09-13T18:28:00.007-04:002020-09-13T18:28:59.189-04:00Alexandria Listserve Created to connect community for storm related flooding issues <p> <span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Georgia; font-size: 13px;">A fellow Alexandrian has created a listserv to help unify the different neighborhoods who have been affected by the </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Georgia; font-size: 13px; text-size-adjust: auto;">recent flooding.

MacArthur is collecting funds for grocery cards for families in need if school is closed for an extended period of time. A number of students at MacArthur and across ACPS rely on free breakfast and lunches at school, and prolonged and unexpected closures have a significant impact on those families. If you wish to help out, you can donate though the link. Please write in the note “grocery gift card.” Additional details are below. </div>

If MacArthur closes, we have families that could use the gift cards while school is not in session. The gift cards will be distributed by the school social worker, Ms. Fitchett. Gift card donations of any amount are appreciated. In the event that it isn’t necessary for schools to close, we will hold the gift cards until the end of the school year and give them to students for summer. </span></div>

<br /></h2>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-size-adjust: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-size-adjust: auto;">
On Tuesday, March 3, there will be a Democratic Party presidential primary election in the City of Alexandria. Polls will be open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. Here are six ways Alexandria voters can prepare for Election Day:</div>
<h3 style="font-family: arial; text-size-adjust: auto;">
1. Consider Absentee Voting</h3>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-size-adjust: auto;">
Don't let a long commute, business trip, vacation, disability or illness put your right to vote at risk. Your absentee ballot will be counted after the polls close on Election Day and included in the results reported that night.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-size-adjust: auto;">
The deadline to cast an absentee ballot in person is Saturday, February 29, at 5 p.m. Absentee voting is available at:</div>
<ul style="font-family: arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-size-adjust: auto;">
<li style="margin-left: 15px;"><b>Office of Voter Registration & Elections</b> (132 North Royal St., Suite 100):<br />Friday, February 28, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.<br />Saturday, February 29, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.</li>
</ul>
<h3 style="font-family: arial; text-size-adjust: auto;">
2. Check Your Polling Place</h3>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-size-adjust: auto;">
On Election Day, you must vote at your designated polling place, so be sure to confirm the location (and your registration) at <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://act.myngp.com/el/uRK2ZwYKEp4z3Jza6MB9ESUFb0Fm_18YiPy2k6jc7vg=/fCNAanVGxK8fZcdTo-ktTHluAmVX5X4ag9JsskKLuGw=&source=gmail&ust=1582987799090000&usg=AFQjCNEfhDqHIarCa-mEFXloSj1a7O8gBQ" href="https://act.myngp.com/el/uRK2ZwYKEp4z3Jza6MB9ESUFb0Fm_18YiPy2k6jc7vg=/fCNAanVGxK8fZcdTo-ktTHluAmVX5X4ag9JsskKLuGw=" style="color: #0000cc;" target="_blank">vote.elections.virginia.gov</a><wbr></wbr> before you go. You may also call the Voter Registration Office at 703.746.4050 or view the City's <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://act.myngp.com/el/uRK2ZwYKEp4z3Jza6MB9ESUFb0Fm_18YiPy2k6jc7vg=/ZJG_bhX_1nV50O2rzQ8YC02yQ7l-WdM2eIrBVMgG4-8=&source=gmail&ust=1582987799090000&usg=AFQjCNGAXzZK_l0Oz3HENMlxdJ8JjA88QA" href="https://act.myngp.com/el/uRK2ZwYKEp4z3Jza6MB9ESUFb0Fm_18YiPy2k6jc7vg=/ZJG_bhX_1nV50O2rzQ8YC02yQ7l-WdM2eIrBVMgG4-8=" style="color: #0000cc;" target="_blank">current precinct map</a>.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-size-adjust: auto;">
At the January 25, 2020, Public Hearing, City Council passed an ordinance moving the Agudas Achim polling place (2908 Valley Drive) to the Charles Barrett Recreation Center (1115 Martha Custis Drive). Notices to voters impacted by the move were mailed in early February.</div>
<h3 style="font-family: arial; text-size-adjust: auto;">
3. Know What's on Your Ballot</h3>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-size-adjust: auto;">
Before Election Day, review the sample ballot for your precinct at <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://act.myngp.com/el/uRK2ZwYKEp4z3Jza6MB9ESUFb0Fm_18YiPy2k6jc7vg=/Igdrc-q5UMe04Ylt3BIc5qqY5joejxGA0eNjSk-bw2U=&source=gmail&ust=1582987799090000&usg=AFQjCNHAFPIDYmrH-qY9cYAfjhOml6xOkg" href="https://act.myngp.com/el/uRK2ZwYKEp4z3Jza6MB9ESUFb0Fm_18YiPy2k6jc7vg=/Igdrc-q5UMe04Ylt3BIc5qqY5joejxGA0eNjSk-bw2U=" style="color: #0000cc;" target="_blank">alexandriava.gov/Elections</a> <wbr></wbr>to help you make informed choices at the voting booth.</div>
<ul style="font-family: arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-size-adjust: auto;">
<li style="margin-left: 15px;">Voters in Virginia do not register by political party, so any person registered to vote in Alexandria may vote in the March 3 primary election.</li>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;">Election officials are not permitted to provide information about candidates. The ballot was printed prior to the start of absentee voting in January and contains 14 names. Please research your choice before arriving at the polling place.</li>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;">There is no Republican Party presidential primary this March. Instead, the Republican Party will hold a statewide convention in the spring.</li>
</ul>
<h3 style="font-family: arial; text-size-adjust: auto;">
4. Bring Your Valid Photo ID</h3>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-size-adjust: auto;">
Virginia voters must show photo identification (ID) when voting in person. Examples of acceptable ID include: a Virginia driver's license, United States passport, military photo ID, employee photo ID, or student photo ID. You can review the complete list of acceptable identification at the <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://act.myngp.com/el/uRK2ZwYKEp4z3Jza6MB9ESUFb0Fm_18YiPy2k6jc7vg=/ubFJxVKTBHWEXSdwXzJr3MfwLtjMiSCCvS7pkvAa5dA=&source=gmail&ust=1582987799090000&usg=AFQjCNHSx_orrEcNAZizqTvp9Nj3qQL0iA" href="https://act.myngp.com/el/uRK2ZwYKEp4z3Jza6MB9ESUFb0Fm_18YiPy2k6jc7vg=/ubFJxVKTBHWEXSdwXzJr3MfwLtjMiSCCvS7pkvAa5dA=" style="color: #0000cc;" target="_blank">Virginia Department of Elections</a> website.</div>
<ul style="font-family: arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-size-adjust: auto;">
<li style="margin-left: 15px;">Voters who do not have an acceptable ID may receive a free Voter Photo ID from Alexandria's Voter Registration Office. The office is open Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and on Election Day from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m.</li>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;">Voters who do not bring a photo ID when voting may still cast a provisional ballot and have until noon on Friday, March 6, to deliver a copy of their photo ID to the Voter Registration Office or appear in person to apply for a free Voter Photo ID Card.</li>
</ul>
<h3 style="font-family: arial; text-size-adjust: auto;">
5. Don't Be Late</h3>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-size-adjust: auto;">
If you are planning to vote late in the day or after work, please remember that you must be in line at your polling place by 7 p.m. or you will not be able to vote.</div>
<h3 style="font-family: arial; text-size-adjust: auto;">
6. View the Unofficial Results</h3>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-size-adjust: auto;">
After the polls close on Election Night, Alexandria election officials will begin posting unofficial results on the <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://act.myngp.com/el/uRK2ZwYKEp4z3Jza6MB9ESUFb0Fm_18YiPy2k6jc7vg=/yvBMmjdMKDt8bZcnTD7GvvsGAw5rLD-AkAtbDLICZ6M=&source=gmail&ust=1582987799090000&usg=AFQjCNEKOmfgRvjXthXjnySaqoNVcfFhBA" href="https://act.myngp.com/el/uRK2ZwYKEp4z3Jza6MB9ESUFb0Fm_18YiPy2k6jc7vg=/yvBMmjdMKDt8bZcnTD7GvvsGAw5rLD-AkAtbDLICZ6M=" style="color: #0000cc;" target="_blank">Virginia Department of Elections website</a>.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-size-adjust: auto;">
During the weeks following the election, state and local Electoral Boards will canvass the results, make any necessary adjustments, and certify the official results.</div>

<span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;">As is our custom at the beginning of each school year, we will begin practicing the school safety drills required of all schools by the Commonwealth of Virginia. We plan to host our first fire drill by the end of the first week of school and will have a second one by the end of the month. Also this week teachers will be implementing the first ALiCE lesson (reading the book) and by the middle of next week will have practiced evacuating to their classroom's designated safe space outside of the building. Although the recent events this past weekend are a reminder of the need for preparing our students for emergency situations, our upcoming drills reflect our common practice of keeping kids safe and prepared at all times.<br /><br /><u><strong>For families new to Tucker, we hope that you can join us at 6:30 PM on<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><span id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT171_com_zimbra_date"><span id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT172_com_zimbra_date"><span id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT173_com_zimbra_date">Monday, August 19</span></span></span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>for our annual ALICE Parent Presentation.</strong></u><br /><br />Below is the letter that will be sent home with your child today.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br /> </td></tr>

The ACPS team is developing, educating and training staff and all students, in an age-appropriate fashion, on how to respond and prepare for the unlikely occurrence of an intruder (someone trying to hurt students and staff) at school. Please know that we are taking into account developmental appropriateness and levels of learning abilities as lessons are being developed.<br />The new program we are adopting is called Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter and Evacuate, commonly referred to as ALICE. This process provides appropriate action steps for students and staff to take in order to stay safe in the event of an active shooter or active threat in the school building or on campus. The main objective of this program is to provide students and staff with OPTIONS to increase their chance of survival during an intruder emergency. The ALICE initiative is recognized across the country as an additional component to the traditional “lockdown” response.<br />Alexandria City Public Schools administrators, teachers and staff began ALICE training in the summer of 2017. Tucker staff members have all completed both online and practical training with our instructors during the school year prior to taking the next steps with students. It is now time to educate and train our students by engaging in age-appropriate lessons and practicing age-appropriate scenarios, which will lead to a practical understanding of the safety options provided by ALICE.<br />Over the next couple of weeks our students will participate in overview lessons on the major components of ALICE taught by their classroom teachers and members of our school ALICE Instructor Team. At the elementary level, our primary focus for students will be on EVACUATION if there were to be an active shooter or threat inside the building. Students will learn the different exits of the building, how to safely run to our safe places, and actions they can take to keep our school safer (such as not opening exterior doors to known or unknown adults).<br /><strong><em>A Parent Information meeting will be held on<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><u>Monday, August 19<sup>th</sup><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>from 6:30-8:00.</u> I hope that you can join us!</em></strong><br />Just as routine fire drills have played an important role in school safety, it is our hope that these new strategies will become engrained in a similar fashion to ensure that our students are safe at school each and every day. As always, please do not hesitate to contact me directly with any questions regarding this topic.<br />Thank you for your ongoing support.<br />Sincerely,<br /><br /><br />Rene Paschal</td></tr>

<i>Via Seminary Hill Association </i></div>
<div style="background-color: #fefefe; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: #fefefe; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
As many of you are aware, on May 30th, the city's Transportation and Environmental Services staff presented its proposed re-design of Seminary Road. Seminary Hill Association had put forward a plan we termed Alternative 4, which maintained 4 lanes of car travel, but provided safety improvements <u></u>including:<u></u> reducing the width of those 4 lanes to slow speed, creating light-activated crosswalks for pedestrians, providing a 3' buffer on each side of the roadway, and calling for increased speed enforcement along Seminary Road. The Seminary Hill board voted overwhelmingly for this option, and a large majority of our residents have expressed support for this alternative. Unfortunately, city staff did not choose to consider our <u></u>proposal,<u></u> but instead created what they term a "hybrid" approach combining 2 of their own proposals to alter the car travel lanes.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fefefe; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: #fefefe; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
The city's proposal narrows the eastbound car travel lanes from 2 lanes to 1 lane between St. Stephens Road and Zabriskie Lane - a stretch of just 4/10ths of a mile - before returning the 2nd car travel lane to approach the intersection at Quaker Lane. In this stretch of roadway, they propose to create an 8' "shared buffer" space on the sides of the road, create pedestrian crosswalks with concrete"refuge" islands in the middle of the roadway, and alter the signal pattern at the intersection of Quaker Lane. At this intersection, the <u></u>right hand<u></u> lane would become <u></u>right<u></u> turn only onto Quaker, but right turn on red would be prohibited. The left lane would become left turn and through traffic, which means that cars going straight onto Janneys Lane would have to wait behind cars seeking to turn left onto Quaker Lane. You can view the full details of this plan at this website: <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://dphen1.com/cgi-bin/dada/mail.cgi/r/semhillassoc/358293917399/&source=gmail&ust=1559933650826000&usg=AFQjCNH2lT9v23sGDsdleaL2OeOjuww3-Q" href="http://dphen1.com/cgi-bin/dada/mail.cgi/r/semhillassoc/358293917399/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">www.alexandriava.gov/103393.</a></div>
<div style="background-color: #fefefe; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: #fefefe; color: #0a0a0a; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
The city is now accepting comments on their proposal. Please take a few minutes and participate in the survey so your voice can be heard. You can access the <u></u>survey<u></u> <u></u>at:<u></u> <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://dphen1.com/cgi-bin/dada/mail.cgi/r/semhillassoc/583834000191/&source=gmail&ust=1559933650826000&usg=AFQjCNG4nfi2MVXTP5cSwif7HjaNieLdOw" href="http://dphen1.com/cgi-bin/dada/mail.cgi/r/semhillassoc/583834000191/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">https://www.research.net/r/<wbr></wbr>AlexandriaVA-<wbr></wbr>SeminaryRdPublicComment. </a>This survey will close on <strong>June 10th,</strong> so please register your comments before that deadline.</div>

<span style="color: #333333;">The Police Youth Camp in Kilmarnock, Virginia hosts seven week-long residential camp sessions and has 100 spots remaining for Alexandria residents, aged 9 - 15, plus, two weeks for 16 year-old Counselors-in-Training.</span></div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(14, 14, 14); color: #0e0e0e; font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-size-adjust: auto;">

<span style="color: #333333; font-weight: bold;">Cost:</span><span style="color: #333333;"> $530 a week but we have scholarship funds available. </span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-weight: bold;">When</span><span style="color: #333333;">: Camp Runs from Sunday to Friday. The first week is June 23 - 28. The last week is Aug 4-9. Campers typically attend only one week.</span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-weight: bold;">What</span><span style="color: #333333;">: The APYC has been around since 1947. Many people call us “police camp” but the activities are the same as any other overnight resident camp (boating, zip line, swimming, fishing, climbing wall, etc).</span></div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(14, 14, 14); color: #0e0e0e; font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-size-adjust: auto;">

<span style="color: #333333; font-weight: bold;">Application Process</span><span style="color: #333333;">: The application for camp can be found here: </span><a href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001DYvh8V_0ICMVxOy1wXP5s87YTMlsngF2DSk6RsndVTdlfkTRpTk7zzavqUtiK1n7JjuDeq5q1Z1LVBYKjpQ017M2EQw-ZMg3SyrzVV8GUfP7rMGpfj9-_pcbUok0q9IVXYQnaK31flTOP2OLSWSwsQ==&c=3PPbW0PtbtJrlGWk4YxYLsCYGsrdeicqI5g81SL1cerlM6-3VwyQEg==&ch=STw-xz8Fik6ucWexQRhQZTkjim4bmGXXkiGc8i9NfHQ9FoSLgQjyvg==" style="color: #0000a7;" target="_blank">www.AlexPYC.org</a><span style="color: #333333;">. Once completed, a YMCA staff member will contact the parent to determine what week the child can attend and complete any additional paperwork. There is no paperwork to complete to receive scholarship funds; we work on an honesty policy.</span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-weight: bold;">Transportation</span><span style="color: #333333;">: ACPS provides a bus to and from camp, though parents are welcome to drop the child off on the property. It is located in Kilmarnok VA, about 2.5-3 hours away from Alexandria. There is no fee to take the bus.</span></div>

In October 2018, the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) notified the City that Transurban, the I-395 Express Lanes concessionaire, is proposing to evaluate the current use of the Seminary Road high-occupant vehicle-only ramp and to consider potential operational changes at the ramp for express lane/high-occupancy toll traffic. The City has posted a <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.alexandriava.gov/tes/info/default.aspx?id%3D106630&source=gmail&ust=1541794429984000&usg=AFQjCNEwL3MkLG68w5SPwGu0C-XlH-ypKQ" href="https://www.alexandriava.gov/tes/info/default.aspx?id=106630" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">web page</a> with information and resources about this potential change. The City Manager also provided a <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.alexandriava.gov/uploadedFiles/tes/info/Memo%2520to%2520Council%2520-%2520TransUrban%2520Update.pdf&source=gmail&ust=1541794429984000&usg=AFQjCNEd-ZS7XQI9wWY-UeoMDfKtdEXnZA" href="https://www.alexandriava.gov/uploadedFiles/tes/info/Memo%20to%20Council%20-%20TransUrban%20Update.pdf" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">memorandum</a> to the Mayor and City Council describing the background and City position on this potential change.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Helvetica, Arial; font-size: small;">
City staff is coordinating with Transurban and VDOT on an analysis (to be conducted by Transurban) of the forecasted traffic changes that could occur from the proposed change. There is not yet a timeline for completing this analysis.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Helvetica, Arial; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Helvetica, Arial; font-size: small;">
This new information prompted city staff to pause work on the <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.alexandriava.gov/tes/info/default.aspx?id%3D103393&source=gmail&ust=1541794429985000&usg=AFQjCNHM95HpxDsqcRZGUKM8ku06oOg0-g" href="https://www.alexandriava.gov/tes/info/default.aspx?id=103393" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">Seminary Road Complete Streets project</a>. As soon as the Complete Streets project team has a reliable forecast of how a potential change in the off-ramp operation could impact Seminary Road traffic, the project team will conduct a revised traffic analysis of the conceptual alternatives. Project work will restart as soon as more information is known about the potential future impacts of the contemplated changes.</div>
