DRCA Bylaws Review
The current DRCA Bylaws are in need of a review and revision. There are several opportunities for us to update the bylaws for the electronic era, clarify the classes of membership to include those who are interested in Del Ray but do not live or work here, and several other items. The executive board has established a review committee that will meet over the summer to present recommendations to the membership for consideration at the September 2008 meeting. If you are interested in working on the committee, please email DRCA past president Larry Altenburg.

Monroe Avenue opening delayed until Fall 2008
According to the construction company (and confirmed by city staff) the opening of Monroe Ave has been delayed from July until Fall 2008.

"Due to the delay of the easement required for crossing Dominion Power's line on Monroe Avenue, we will not be opening Monroe Avenue in July.  Instead, it will be approximately 14 weeks after we receive permission to continue work in the area.  We are currently awaiting this permission, and unfortunately, do not have an approximate time frame when we will receive permission.  Best bet is to say 'Fall 2008'. "

An updated annotated illustration showing the final configuration of intersection and traffic/pedestrian routes for the Monroe Bridge when completed is available for download here.
