“Dear PoPville,

I’ve been noticing that the construction crew on the upper level of Meridian Hill/Malcolm X Park has been very abusive to the already deteriorating turf. As they work to repair the lower section of the park, it seems that they are simultaneously damaging the other heavily used section. Photos are below.

It would be great to start a conversation on this and see what can be done to save the grass. As we all know, this is prime recreational space that will be at a premium when the weather returns.”
