Back on April 20th we noted that water had returned to Meridian Hill/Malcolm X Park but at the time it was only at a trickle. This morning things are looking amazing!!
Thanks to Anna for sharing this absolute awesomeness: “The water is flowing in Malcolm X / Meridian Hill Park this morning! These images were taken from my 8th floor apt. on May 7 at around 7:30 am.”

“Dear PoPville,
I’m hoping you can spread the word about DC Water’s upcoming closure of Piney Branch Parkway in Petworth because it is going to cause major headaches for folks unaware of the closure who are trying to commute in either direction along this road. Starting May 12th (and through June 8th), Piney Branch Parkway will be closed from Arkansas Ave to Beach Drive to allow for construction of the Piney Branch Tunnel project. DC Water has presented multiple times on this project to ANC 4C and delayed the Piney Branch Parkway closure dates a few times, but now it looks like this time it is actually happening.
For folks in Petworth who use Piney Branch Parkway to commute south and west to Virginia – I recommend going north and west instead (Georgia to Military Road etc).”
