Provision 1 – Driver will not drive through or into any of the Tuckerman Streets between 13th and 14th Street NW alleys to either pick up or drop off children. In reviewing the file of complaints from the residents, there were no complaints to be found concerning this. Provision 2 – A placard must be placed in the windshield of motor vehicles used to bring the children to and from the center. This had several complaints (7 in February 2013). According to the owners, these violations were due to a misunderstanding on their part as to when the agreement was to take effect. Commissioner Bennett suggested to the center that they enlarge the placards to increase visibility. Provision 3 – Staff must be posted at certain times in the morning and evening to direct drivers to park legally when walking the children to and from the center. There have been no written complaints about improper parking. The only complaint about the posting is that no staff have been witnessed on the street directing traffic. This point is in contention and Commissioner Bennett suggests a committee be formed to mediate. Ms. Patience Singleton inquired why no fines have been assessed since the LGN has violated certain provisions of the agreement and urged that they be held accountable.
