Steven Shen is currently an At-Large member of the Board representing Mount Vernon-Belvedere and serves as Chairman of the Operations Committee.  In the past year Mr. Shen worked closely with the District Administrator to increase the efficiency of cleaning operations  throughout the District.  Still not satisfied, he is encouraging residents of neighborhoods with a significant commercial component to authorize the posting of 2 Hour No Parking signs to enable the use of mechanical street sweeping on a weekly basis and is investigating the return of regularly maintained wastebaskets to selected locations throughout the District in the continuing battle against litter.  In the next year, Mr. Shen intends to continue his primary focus on developing a comprehensive plan to address the unique safety issues that face each neighborhood and its bordering communities.  The solution will likely require a significant commitment of capital from and unprecedented cooperation between MCBD and institutional, governmental, neighborhood, and private partners.
 
Mr. Shen has an engineering and business background.  He serves as chairman of the MVBA Architectural Review Committee and active in neighborhood and historic preservation issues.
