Fort Totten – North Michigan Park Pedestrian Access Improvement Project
After a lengthy delay, construction of a pedestrian path between Gallatin and Galloway Street NE through Fort Totten Park is resuming. This path should be completed in a few months.


Metropolitan Branch Trail (MBT) Brookland to Fort Totten Extension
The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) publishes weekly progress reports, photos, and other info on the project website at https://www.metbranchtrail-forttotten.com.

Today, preliminary work on the pedestrian trail linking Gallatin and Galloway Streets NE across Fort Circle Park has begun. According to Ben, Autumn General Contractors, LLC, the area will be cleared of brush and tall grass only.
Due to the long delay, this area will be re-surveyed in early August 2021. Thereafter, work on this project may begin. So, stay tuned for the next installment of this long-running saga.
We were surprised when they came and cut the grass. Progress! Although so far the progress is still in the negatives.
