Good news from DC Water:
“Following a 27-day closure, DC Water will reopen a section of Piney Branch Parkway between Arkansas Avenue and Beach Drive NW early Monday morning, restoring an important cross-town connection for thousands of District commuters. During the closure, a section of the road was temporarily relocated for construction of DC Water’s Piney Branch Tunnel Project.
Enhanced safety measures have also been put in place to protect drivers, cyclists and pedestrians. A new three-way stop has been added at Piney Branch Parkway and 17th Street. Rumble strips and jersey barriers with high-visibility reflective markings were installed as well to alert drivers of the new curve in the road.
The adjoining pedestrian and bike trail will be separated from the construction site by barriers and fencing. A raised crosswalk at the work zone entrance will also help pedestrians cross safely and a there will be a defined path to guide cyclists through the area. Flaggers will also be on site when equipment or materials need to move across the road.
This temporary road shift is needed so crews can build the Piney Branch Tunnel, and the roadway will be returned to the original alignment at the end of the project. (more…)

“The morning after peak bloom for a corpse flower (Amorphophallus titanum)”
Check out the action at the U.S. Botanic Garden (100 Maryland Ave, SW):
“Want to see and smell a big stink? We have a corpse flower bloom (Amorphophallus titanum) opening right now (Wednesday, June3)! We will stay open until 9 pm tonight for visitors to see the bloom opening and smell the infamous stench. This corpse flower is 8 years old and is blooming for the first time. It was created here at the United States Botanic Garden in 2017, by pollinating an A. titanum in our collection with pollen from another in our collection. The seed was planted in February 2018. It is 77.5” tall. A second bloom (on left) is expected to open June 3-5. We will open at 10 am Thursday, June 4. (more…)

From DC Water:
“Dry Conditions, above-average temperatures, and below-normal water levels in the Potomac River have prompted a Drought Watch by the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments’ (COG) Drought Coordination Committee. A drought watch is triggered when the entire DC region experiences moderate drought, with current conditions some of the most significant the region has experienced in more than 20 years and underscoring the need for Wise Water use and conservation.
DC Water is monitoring conditions in coordination with COG, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Washington Aqueduct which supplies the District’s drinking water, and other regional water utilities. While DC Water continues to provide safe and reliable drinking water service to customers across the District, prolonged dry weather puts added strain on regional water supplies. That’s why it’s important for everyone to begin taking measures to conserve water. (more…)
