As part of this change, JUMP will be temporarily paused in Washington D.C.. We hope to be back soon and will update you when bikes and scooters are once again available in the Uber app.

We are still here for you in other ways – helping you get where you need to go with Uber rides, and delivering meals to you with Uber Eats.

Thank you for riding with JUMP.”

“NPS approves DC Water’s Soapstone Valley Park Sewer Rehabilitation Project”

By Prince Of Petworth


Soapstone

From DC Water:

“The National Park Service (NPS) has completed an Environmental Assessment (EA) and approved DC Water’s proposed Soapstone Valley Park Sewer Rehabilitation Project. Soapstone Valley Park is managed by Rock Creek Park and is located southeast of the intersection of Connecticut Avenue NW and Albemarle Street NW, extending to Broad Branch Road NW.

DC Water has determined that the Soapstone Valley Park sanitary sewer system has exceeded its design life and is in need of rehabilitation. Through this project, DC Water will rehabilitate aging sewer infrastructure within Soapstone Valley Park while limiting disturbances to park resources.

The EA described a No Action Alternative and a Trenchless Alternative (DC Water’s Preferred Alternative) for the proposed project and identified and evaluated the impacts on natural and historic resources from implementing these alternatives.

Any idea what’s going on at Number Nine? They seem to have gutted the place for renovations.”

Maybe we’ll be seeing a lot more of this as bars and restaurants prepare to reopen with likely more spacing in mind? Anyone see other renos starting at restaurants or bars?

“Yesterday at the Brookland Metro”

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoPville,

Yesterday WMATA closed the brookland station “as a safety precaution” for a few hours. I saw the tweet then forgot about it and went for a run later. I saw 6 or 8 people in full hazmat great deep cleaning a metro shelter /bench. Do you know if this is something metro is just doing to metro stations, or was there some incident that caused them to clean this station and this shelter in particular? If this was a normal thing, maybe metro should tweet station is being closed for “regular cleaning” so it’s more clear.”
