Last we looked at some curious filled holes. Curiosities continue as we kick off this week!
“Dear PoPville,
A quick update on the Logan Circle Park do-over.
Workers are quite literally pressure washing the soil in the park. According to Google,
the whole park will receive new topsoil and sod, so I’m assuming this is one way to prep for that treatment.
I’m a fan of the do-over, even if the timing is a bit off. And though I am a big dog lover, I do hope it does not once again become a dog park. It’s not designed for that kind of treatment. It will be great to regain this wonderful neighborhood space for everybody.
And here you can see that the park pie wedge between P and Rhode Island (southwest quadrant) has been completely scoured.”
STAY TUNED.
ICYMI: “New sign on Logan Circle fence” sure to enrage 99% of residents. Didn’t take long for the sign to be, uh, updated. Scroll down to see what it looked like after the update here.
ICYMI: THAT didn’t last long…
ICYMI: Official Word on Logan Circle Park Closing Monday March 30 through June 15th
“Logan Circle is currently undergoing a major restoration and beautification project as part of President Trump’s DC Safe and Beautiful initiative. The centerpiece of the project is the restoration of the Major General John A. Logan Memorial at the center of the circle, ensuring the landmark remains protected and well maintained for years to come.
Additionally, crews are replacing the exposed aggregate concrete walkways, restoring turf and landscaping, installing new irrigation, repairing and upgrading lighting, replacing trash receptacles, repairing benches and other furnishings, and performing tree and arborist work to protect the park’s canopy. The project also includes new iron fencing around the inner circle and repairs to existing fencing.”
