SEPTA membership is not specific to any one school but serves all schools in Arlington County and its members are encouraged to join and participate in their school-specific PTAs as well.
The SEPTA would like to invite parents, educators, and all others who support children with special needs to an upcoming chat with Dr. Patrick Murphy, Superintendent of Arlington Public Schools. The SEPTA chat with the Superintendent will take place:
Wednesday, December 8, 2010, 6:30 - 8:30 PM
Home of Christopher & Theresa Waddell
5109 Little Falls Road
Arlington, VA 22207

Comments on Columbia Pike Transit Initiative due Dec. 3rd
All—
The Pike (Columbia Pike) Transit Initiative is seeking public comments by Dec. 3rd, 2010 in regard to installation of a streetcar which will service the Columbia Pike corridor including Pentagon City. A concern for some residents might be the location of the power sub-station close to our neighborhood at Columbia Pike and Washington Boulevard. Please see Patty's concerns in the e-mail below. I submitted the following comments under the various sections of the Online form:
Environmental Assessment should include input from Arlington County Natural Resources Manager and other local ecology specialists to examine any potential effects on rare or endangered species. Determining any potential to effect such species should consist of more that checking a database.
Other planning processes should include EXTENSIVE documentation and expert input from multiple authoritative sources in regard to power sub stations/electronic and magnetic fields and adverse effects on human populations including infants and children. Proposed power station location for this initiate is adjacent to a neighborhood of families and young children, an elementary school which provides pre-school services, a community center, church and a playground.
Alignment scope should include/consider relief to communities, commuters, traffic congestion and route services to the DoD BRAC133/Mark Center
Power sub station can be located further down Columbia Pike toward the Pentagon
Please feel free to echo my comments or voice your own. This is your chance to have input into what happens in your community and your neighborhood.
Comments can be made at the link below and project information can also be located on this page.
Luci Herbert-Hansen, your neighbor
