President's Report
- by Pat Williamson-Edwards
At the November meeting, the official copy of Barcroft's submission to the Neighborhood Traffic Calming Committee, was presented by
Elaine Squeri, Chairman of the BSCL Traffic Committee, for the Assocation archives. We anxiously await the December 10 presentation BSCL will maketo the whole NTCC and then the January 26 presentation to the County
Board. So much work by so many residents has gone into this submission. The rewards will come in the form of two safer to travel streets in
Barcroft.
There is, however, no rest in the neighborhood while other streets await notice by the County for Traffic Calming measures. Led by Abingdon Street neighbor, Kenny Harrell, the Barcroft cut-through traffic study done in
September will have results in by mid-November and we are hopeful the analyzed data will raise County awareness to the problems that other Barcroft streets are experiencing as well as the already recognized S. Wakefield and S. Buchanan/Pershing.
A round of appreciative applause was heard for our newsletter editor, Christina Cavoli, and circulation chief, Susan Hunn. Many thanks to these neighbors who have stepped forward to take on two of the most important jobs in the Barcroft School and Civic League. Also a big thank you to Eric Parker, current Corresponding Secretary, who is acting as Recording Secretary as well. Meeting minutes are available on the www.bscl.org, the website tended admirably by Randy Swart.
Peg LeFebrvre reports that fewer membership dues have been received to date than last year. Please remember to get your dues in. Contact
peg@bscl.org with any questions about dues.
A presentation by the Washington Regional Network on "Solutions to Sprawl" culminated in a unanimous vote by those present to send the County Board Chairman a letter asking that the Board give consideration to the solutions advanced by the WRN within the context of regional planning and the need to rationalize our regional land use and transportation policies. If you’d like to review the letter, please contact me or check our website.
On December 6, the annual BSCL Holiday party, will be held at the Community House at 7:30 pm. We hope neighbors of all ages will come to sing, snack and see Santa!

Traffic Calming
-by Trav Fick, the voice for sane neighborhood streets in Barcroft
Petitions Submitted: You have all done a great job! Our Barcroft Traffic Calming Application was submitted October 30, the first application in, and we duly impressed the DPW/TC office with the number of petitions collected and the show of support from our community.
You Petitioners are awesome! Of the 486 homes in the impacted area, you reached 430! Of the homes reached, 381 said yes to Barcroft Traffic Calming, and offered lots of advice as well!
Buchanan traffic calming measures garnered 82% approval. 73% of Wakefield residences approved, a slightly lower rate but well above the required 60%. Concern over the use of traffic circles in the traffic calming effort remains an issue. The application submitted to the DPW/TC is on the BSCL website.
The presentation of five projects to the Neighborhood Traffic Calming Committee (NTCC) will be December 10. The projects approved by the NTCC will then be presented to the Arlington County Board on January 26. Both meetings are public, and comments may be offered by attendees who sign up before the meeting.
New Progress
Trav Fick has a new best friend on the County Board: member Charles Monroe. Charles has gone to bat for the beleaguered residents of Abingdon, 3rd & 4th Streets, who are desperate to slow and reduce heavy cut-through heavy traffic.
Trav was bummed that these streets didn’t make the cut when the county-wide body that oversees traffic humps and circles, the Neighborhood Traffic Calming Committee, awarded relief to two other corridors in the neighborhood, Buchanan/Pershing, and S. Wakefield.
But Trav was impressed when he saw Charles sitting in the front yard of Abingdon resident Kenny Harrell, watching the cars stream by. You know Kenny: He’s the booming-voiced, white-haired, big-hearted former fireman who waves at cars speeding by his house. Gee, I hope that was a friendly wave. He’s an awfully big fella.
Knowing what he saw, Charles asked the Committee to reconsider. They said no, we must stick to the book, despite prodding by county transportation guru Jeff Sikes that humps be allowed. Darn it, Trav thought. What does it take?
Undeterred, Charles intends to ask the county board to approve the relief over the Committee’s objections. He’ll be armed with a study that, by early indications, will show that many commuters from outside of Barcroft cut through neighborhood streets en route to Columbia Pike and Route 50. The Committee doesn’t recognize cut-through as a problem. But the board in eras past has signed off on measures to slow or deter commuter traffic that uses neighborhood streets as major arteries.
Trav thanks Kenny Harrell and others for raising hell to get that study underway, and to Jeff Sikes and board chairman Jay Fisette for endorsing and supporting the project. He also thanks over two dozen Barcroft volunteers who were
stationed at all seven entrances to the neighborhood to track traffic for the study. What a crew – another neighborhood could only draft two for their study.
Meanwhile, Trav and Abingdon neighbors have more tricks up their sleeves. They’ll mount a petition drive to show neighborhood support for calming on 3-4-Abingdon. Charles can use those petitions as he works board members.
There’s a back-up plan if the board won’t budge. The Committee will review its guidelines in March, and our own Barcroft traffic chair, Elaine Squeri, who is also a Committee member, will be urging it to consider cut-through worthy of calming measures.
Who knows what will happen. But Trav Fick hopes there’ll be another chapter of Barcroft traffic calming, coming soon.

Historic District Designation
Could Help Zoning Quandaries
- by Mark Wigfield
A historic house at 614 S. Taylor Street is likely to fall to the bulldozer following the Board of Zoning Adjustments (BZA) October decision to deny a variance sought by developer Campbell Lewis. Hopefully, we’ll be better prepared next time to suggest alternatives to developers as Barcroft moves toward being designated a National Register Historic District.
Mr. Lewis sought and won support at the Oct. 4 Barcroft meeting for the variance because he said it was the only way he could preserve the original house after subdividing the lot in order to build two new homes behind it. But the BZA, which has the final word, said “no,” charging that Mr. Lewis brought the hardship upon himself by subdividing the lot in the manner and number of pieces that he did.
Indeed, Mr. Lewis rebuffed suggestions that he redraw his plans under a more flexible set of planning rules better suited for such special requests. He didn’t want to spend the money or time. He put a gun to the neighborhood’s head, essentially saying, approve my variance or I’ll tear the old house down. He offered no guarantees about the way in which the house would be preserved.
With the old house gone, he can plop a new one in the center of the big, empty lot, flanked by pipe stem drives to the two new homes in the rear, all “by right,” meaning there is no need for a further review by the zoning board.
It’s unfortunate. A county historical survey estimates that 614 S. Taylor was erected somewhere between 1895-1910, making it one of the earliest homes built in Barcroft. The historians wrote that the home is a "good example of the vernacular Queen Anne style as practiced in Arlington." The 1997 survey listed no known threats to the property– a fact that has obviously changed.
The whole process has raised a number of questions for the neighborhood and the county. Some of those questions may be answered by the county’s effort to make Barcroft a National Historic District.
The designation imposes no burdens or restrictions on individual property owners. But county planners could require developers of larger tracts that need zoning variances to design projects that reflect the historic character of the neighborhood. It means that county planners will take pains to preserve the integrity of the neighborhood from encroachment by roads and other infrastructure changes. And buildings constructed in 1936 or earlier that are deemed to contribute to the neighborhood’s historic character could become eligible for tax credits for major renovations and improvements.
County historic preservation coordinator Michael Leventhal hopes to have the final list of historic properties in Barcroft completed within the next five months. Hopefully, this will give Barcroft more tools to save historic properties before there’s nothing left to catalogue.
Police Beat
- by Capt. Michael Dunne
The listed crime statistics are for October 2001. The first number is for the 3rd District (which includes Barcroft) and the second is for County:
Rape 3/4
Robbery 10/26
Burglary 10/39
Aggravated assault 1/7
Larceny from auto 51/174
Larceny of auto 29/76
Exposure 1/3
Peeping Tom 1/4
Sexual assault 4/6
In two of the three rape cases, the suspect was an acquaintance of the victim. In the other, three subjects were arrested by 3rd District officers who discovered the crime in progress. The victim had been brought into Arlington from the District of Columbia. Two of the sexual assaults took place on the bike path along South Four Mile Run Creek, near Barcroft Park. In each, the victim was jogging alone and was grabbed by male subject in the mid to late afternoon. We are providing extra patrols in conjunction with the Park Rangers but you are again reminded to use caution and pair up whenever possible.
Robberies: We are approaching the time of year when robberies increase due to numerous factors including extended hours of darkness and need as the holidays approach. Please be vigilant and report suspicious persons and activity to our non emergency number - 703-558-2222.
As a reminder, County Tag enforcement will begin again on November 16th.
I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the tremendous outpouring of support from the Arlington community since the incidents on September 11th. Our officers have been working long hours, under tough conditions and one of the things that has kept them going is the show of support they have been receiving from their partners in community policing, all of you.

3rd District Commander

Volunteer of the Month
- by Mark Wigfield
Traffic Committee Chair Elaine Squeri has been the Volunteer of the Month before, and she’s it again this month by virtue of her Herculean effort to win approval of Barcroft’s Traffic Calming Plan on S. Buchanan, Pershing and Wakefield. She marshaled dozens of volunteers to circulate petitions door-to-door, masterminded the tricky process of organizing and tabulating the detailed petitions, and spent hours writing the final application.— all this, even though her own street didn’t qualify for this round of calming. Elaine persevered, even though she may have to wait a while longer for help with the speeding cut-through traffic on S. Abingdon. It certainly wasn’t for lack of her trying, though.
Kudos also go to the volunteers who knocked on doors once, twice, three times in the petition drive. And thanks to the many people who took the time to sign. But it never, never would have happened without Elaine behind it. We owe her.

Bus and Bike Commuting
Post-September 11
- by Mark Wigfield
Riders on the 16X bus that circles through Barcroft have become accustomed to a longer trip since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks closed the terminal at the Pentagon. The 16 now terminates at Pentagon City, and will continue to do so until Dec. 16, when a new bus facility is scheduled to open at the Pentagon.
Even before the attack, plans were to move the terminal, a major transfer point from bus routes to Metro’s Blue and Yellow lines, farther from the Pentagon building. The new facility will certainly be less convenient than the old one. But it’s hard to argue now with the military’s decision to keep vehicles a safe distance from their headquarters.
Metro has designed the structure with covered walkways, wind screens and a customer sales center to compensate for the inconvenience.
Meanwhile, intrepid 16X rider Bruce Atkinson says the diversion to Pentagon City has added about 10 or 15 minutes to his ride to the Blue Line. That’s nearly twice as long as the pre-Sept. 11 time. But Bruce isn’t complaining."It just gives you an extra 10 minutes to read the paper," he says.
Bus route hint: sometimes it’s faster to take the Route 4 bus on Route 50 from Rosslyn, though it doesn’t run as often or as late as the many Route 16 buses serving Columbia Pike. Best to get a schedule.
A popular, safe route for bicycle commuters from Barcroft to D.C. includes zigging through Fort Myer. Thankfully, it has remained open to cyclists. There are changes, though. Bikers now have to present a picture I.D. Military police may search saddlebags and backpacks. And cyclists are infrequently challenged by guards who don’t know that the base remains open to bikers passing through. A quick call to the commander results in an OK.
But cyclists are usually cleared quickly. Bikes simply don’t pose the security threat that a car does. We’re grateful that the base continues to accommodate civilians, both the two-wheeled and four-wheeled kind, as it ramps up its role securing Washington. Fort Myer now bustles with troops, HumVees, helicopters and other signs of this strange war we find ourselves in.
Security has also been tightened by our neighbors at the National Foreign Affairs Training Center, at George Mason and Route 50. Inexplicably, the public walking path from the 6th Street entrance leading to Alcova Heights is periodically blocked off by yellow police tape, even though the perimeter of the facility is secured by a fence. This could be something to discuss with our friends, since it seems to serve little purpose and is easy to duck around. Anyone have any contacts there? Contact mark@bscl.org
Art Project Seeks Barcroft Artists
- by Bridget Fitzpatrick
In April 2002, participants in the Global Art Project will create, exhibit and exchange art expressing their ideas of a peaceful global community— resulting in thousands of messages of love and friendship simultaneously encircling the earth. Several Barcroft neighbors plan to participate in this Project, and you can too!
Beginning in March, individuals and groups will create works of art expressing their personal visions of global unity, using any medium that can be sent from one person or group to another. Works by Barcroft neighbors will be displayed locally in early April. During the week of April 23-30, the Global Art Project organizes a worldwide exchange linking registrants one-to-one, or group-to-group. The art each participant sends is a gift of global friendship for the artist in another part of the world to keep. Likewise, the art each participant receives is his or hers to keep. The cost of registration is $15 for individuals, $20 for groups, and the deadline for registering is February 28.
Since 1994, the biennial Global Art Project has joined together over 40,000 participants, representing seven continents, each finding creative ways to share their visions of peace. In Bandung, Indonesia, thirty artists, poets, dancers and musicians gave a taped performance called “Rites for the Earth.” In Durham, North Carolina, a cardiology department created a group artwork
expressing their understanding that by healing relationships we heal the heart. And in Hiroshima, Japan, 280 people participated in the 1996 Project to mark the anniversary of the atomic bombing.
During this time of global change and uncertainty, it’s important that we take time to envision our future and take steps toward a vision of peace.
If you would like to get involved in the Global Art Project, as an individual or as a group, contact Bridget Fitzpatrick at 521-9075 or
bridgetfitzpatrick2001@yahoo.com.
The Global Art Project is a non-profit, grass-roots organization. For more information about the Project, visit www.global-art.org
Checklist for a Safe Ride
Barcroft resident and Certified Child Passenger Safety Technician Sabrina Huffman contributed the following information on keeping your children safe while driving.
Making sure your kids are safe when riding in the car can be confusing. Here are some basics:
1. From birth to at least age one AND 20 pounds, kids should ride in the back seat in a rear facing child seat. Harness straps should be snug fitting, and at or below the shoulder level when rear facing. The harness retainer clip should always be positioned at armpit level.
2. Children over one year AND over 20 pounds may ride forward facing in the back seat. Harness straps should be snug fitting, and at or above the shoulder level when forward facing. The harness retainer clip should always be positioned at armpit level.
3. Child restraints should pass the “1 inch” test: when properly installed, the seat shouldn’t move more than 1 inch in any direction when held at the belt path.
4. Children between 40 and 80 pounds should ride in the back seat in a belt-positioning booster seat which uses the lap and shoulder belt. Booster seats should be used until the lap and shoulder belt properly fits your child (no matter what your child might say!).
Question: How do you know when the lap and shoulder belt fits?
Answer: The lap portion should lay low across the hips/upper thigh area (not the lower abdomen), and the shoulder portion should fall across the shoulder and chest (not the neck or face). Your child’s legs should bend at the knee and fall comfortably over the front of the seat when seated properly (not slouching).
5 All kids age 12 and under should ride properly restrained in the back seat! Be the parent!
6. Always read your child seat owner’s manual and your vehicle owner’s manual for guidance on proper installation and use of the restraint you choose to use. Not all car seats fit all cars!
Still unsure? Then you’re like most people! Call Sabrina Huffman (486-1519) for assistance.
And have a safe ride!
