TPSS Board of Representatives Notes:
March 15, 2018
Dear Members of TPSS Co-op,
We have appreciated your support throughout the City of Takoma Park’s
deliberations on how to develop the City-owned lot next to our store,
including the City’s 2017 review of a Concept Plan submitted by Neighborhood
Development Corporation (NDC). We have shared with our members and the
City Council our serious concern that the dense development proposed
by NDC provides too little space for Co-op deliveries or trash and recycling
pick-up, and that the likely backup of trucks in front of the new development
will cause safety risks.
The City’s deliberations will enter a new and decisive phase this
spring, when the City Council considers a new and more detailed
Site Plan. NDC is scheduled to submit the plan in April, and the City
Council plans to take up review starting April 4. Currently, the
Council is scheduled to vote on whether to accept NDC’s Site Plan on
May 9.
We will be evaluating the plan carefully, communicating our concerns
to you, and asking for your support again. In the meantime, please see
our Junction
Development Project page for an update on NDC’s proposal, our concerns
to date, and what to watch for in the coming weeks.
We are pleased to report that the day-to-day management of our store
continues in the capable hands of acting general manager Hussein Choteka.
Our search for a new permanent general manager also proceeds, and we
encourage our members to spread the word about this exciting opportunity
for leadership of the Co-op management.
