Park View

Cool! Park View is getting an indoor Farmers Market starting Sunday January 12 inside Hook Hall!

3400 Georgia Avenue, NW

From the Park View Farmers Market website:

“Access to locally grown food should be easy. However, mass market food supply chains make it difficult for local farmers, growers, and producers to connect directly with consumers in pursuit of fresh healthy food.

WashFarm Markets, founded by the wife and husband team of Michelle and Chuck, was created to help solve that problem. The mission of WashFarm Markets is to connect local farmers, growers and producers to local consumers.​

WashFarm Markets is proud to deliver its first farmers market, Park View Farmers Market on Jan 12, 2020. (more…)

“Metro internal review of Dec 10 Red Line incident finds safety hazard resulted from human error, insufficient training”

By Prince Of Petworth

From WMATA:

“Metro’s post-incident review of the December 10 Red Line disruption has identified two violations of safety policies or procedures–prompting immediate corrective action–as well as specific areas where additional training and supervisory oversight is required.

The review, led by Metro Chief Safety Officer Theresa Impastato, found that the ROCC controller did not follow safety procedures upon receiving a report of “light sparks” in the tunnel outside Tenleytown Station. While the train operator did not explicitly report “smoke” or “fire,” the ROCC controller appropriately recognized a potential hazard and requested that the following train (Train #130) conduct a track inspection but failed to instruct Train 130 to offload its passengers before beginning the inspection. The controller’s actions violated Metro’s safety rules and procedures for smoke/fire incidents, and immediate corrective action is underway. (more…)
