Ingleside Project Task Force​

Following the suggestion made at the ANC 3/4G’s July 27, 2026 meeting, nearby residents and institutions are forming an independent organization to negotiate and enforce construction and operational protections regarding the planned Ingleside at Rock Creek expansion.

​

To facilitate this effort, we are utilizing the existing structure of Chevy Chase Forward, an independent non-profit organization committed to expanding housing opportunities consistent with the community’s best interests. 

​

Proven Leadership & Community Engagement

Several community members who worked from 2014 through 2020 on the previous ANC 3/4G Ingleside Task Force are drawing on that direct experience to lead this negotiation on behalf of affected residents and institutions. This new effort will be initially co-chaired by:

​

  • Randy Speck: The ANC representative who chaired the previous expansion Task Force.

  • Mike Osborne: A resident across from Ingleside on 30th Place who served as a neighborhood representative on the previous Task Force.

 

Over the next few weeks, we will conduct public meetings with affected community members before officially forming a new Task Force to represent all interests comprehensively.

​

Our Objectives: Negotiation & Enforcement

This Task Force will work with all affected parties to ensure that all reasonable concerns are addressed. Our primary focus areas include:

  • Identifying questions and concerns relating to Ingleside’s proposed design and any future expansion plans.

  • Addressing environmental impacts and necessary construction-related controls.

  • Negotiating strictly enforceable terms with Ingleside to ensure that the facility and its contractors abide by the agreement.

  • Participating as a party in any relevant Zoning Commission proceedings, if appropriate.

​​

Building on a Successful Template

We will use the December 8, 2014 ANC 3/4G Resolution, which memorialized the previous agreement with Ingleside, as a template for negotiating acceptable terms today. That agreement was successfully implemented under the oversight of the previous Task Force and established strong neighborhood protections, including:

  • Requiring detailed, ANC-reviewed plans for traffic control, parking, and construction management prior to commencement.

  • Implementing a strict financial penalty system for violations, such as construction workers parking on neighborhood streets or driving on prohibited routes like 32nd Street.

  • Enforcing accountability that previously resulted in subcontractors paying $216,700 in fines, which the Task Force distributed entirely to 17 local charities.

  • Mandating transparent communication, including a 24-hour hotline for unsafe conditions and an alert system for neighborhood disruptions.
