There is one week left to comment on the National Park Service’s environmental assessment of construction of a formal path between Gallatin and Galloway Street NE to improve access to Fort Totten metro station. Currently, no funding plan exists to construct a path. However, it is an easier sell if 100 comments are received as opposed to 25. Let neighbors who do not use computers know how they can comment or invite them over to use yours. Comments do not have to be elaborate. Just let the Park Service know where you stand on having a formal path to get to the metro station.
Ways to comment:
- Online (NPS preferred method): Go to the Fort Totten-North Michigan Park Pedestrian Access Improvement Project EA website and click on the “Open for Comment” link on the left-hand side of the screen

Do you have any updates on this? I can’t find any subsequent information on line after the comment period closed.
Thanks,
Hi Patricia, NPS said a final decision document should be out soon and that document will be placed on the project page. That said, even if the final decision document mirrors the EA assessment (stating that a paved path would have no significant impact and is the option NPS selects) as we expect it to, NPS reiterated that there is no funding for design or construction yet, so a funding source would have to be identified in order to move forward.
