“Dear PoPville,
I noticed recently that in both US Park Service-managed sections of Rock Creek Park (below Calvert street, and below the P St Bridge), the grass was very tall.
I just spoke with a very kind woman at the Park Service and she said that they normally contract that work out, but that the contract was stalled in processing and so they had to (slowly) do the work in-house.
She said all areas should be mowed by the end of the week, and the contractors should start regular work in the next two weeks.
They also said the work on the multi-use trail is scheduled to be finished by the end of July, but they still have some bridge work and drainage ditch work to complete by then.”
Ed. Note: I’ve noticed DC’s pocket parks could use a trim too…
