On February 2, 2015, the National Park Service will hold a public meeting on the Environmental Assessment for improvements to pedestrian access to Fort Totten metro station. Specifically, the NPS proposes to construct a formal direct path between Gallatin and Galloway Street to replace the shortcuts pedestrians currently use (discussed in this post).
The meeting will take place at 6:30 pm at Lamond Riggs Library (5401 South Dakota Avenue NE).
The NPS indicates comments will be accepted at the meeting. Comments can also be submitted online on the project website or mailed to:
Rock Creek Park
Attn: Fort Totten-North Michigan Park Pedestrian Access Improvements EA
3545 Williamsburg Lane, NW
Washington, D.C. 20008
Comments must be submitted or postmarked by February 19.
We would love a path to be there. It would be great to have permanent, reliable lighting, proper drainage to avoid flooding, a paved path, steps down to Gallatin street and some sort of emergency light/box. Thank you.
