  • Google Calendar ICS

MPD's Third District, including its Outreach and Business Beat teams, will conduct a community walk around 9th and U Streets on Wednesday, April 1, at 5:00 p.m. Community walks are an excellent opportunity for neighbors to interface directly with MPD and to identify areas and trends of concern. Especially with summer approaching, we encourage neighbors to share their local experiences so that District agencies can better tailor their plans on public safety, traffic management, and more.

For questions, please reach out to the chair of the ANC 1B Public Safety Committee, Commissioner François Barrilleaux (1B02): 1B02@anc.dc.gov.

🔶 Town hall with NPS leadership

  • 1500 Euclid St NW Washington, DC (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

With fountain repairs under way on the lower plaza of the park, and a turf-replacement project about to start on the lawn of the upper plaza, Meridian Hill/Malcolm X Park is undergoing quite a facelift. In response to community questions about timelines, public access while work is ongoing, and long-term maintenance commitments, the National Park Service has offered to meet neighbors for a town hall on Sunday, March 29, at 6:30 p.m. Superintendent Brian Joyner will join with ANC representatives, Friends of Meridian Hill, and the general community to discuss NPS's plans and engage in Q&A. The group will meet at the 15th & Euclid entrance of the park for a short site visit before heading into the Josephine Butler Parks Center (2437 15th Street) for the Q&A portion.

If you would like to submit a question in advance (the Q&A will be mostly moderated), or if you have a general question about the park improvement projects, please write to Commissioner Miguel Trindade Deramo (1B06) by email: 1B06@anc.dc.gov.

🔶 Meridian Hill/Malcolm X Park lawn closure begins

The National Park Service has given public notice that its work in Meridian Hill/Malcolm X Park this summer will now include “the effective restoration of the large grass panels in the upper level of the park.”

That means a new lawn — hopefully using a species of grass that’s much more resilient to the heavy use of a lawn in an urban park.

This work will require NPS to close both lawn panels on the upper plaza, beginning Monday, March 23. The formal notice of closure lists an end date of September 4, but surely that will change based on how quickly the work progresses.
