Residents noticed that McDonald’s started rebuilding at 4950 South Dakota Avenue NE in North Michigan Park and then all of the sudden the structure came down. Apparently, McDonald’s officials decided the placement of the building on the lot was incorrect, so they decided to start over.

This is completely unsurprising.

They were (unrealistically) hoping to reopen in August this year. That will not happen, so neighbors get to enjoy a few more months of construction, a lot with overgrown vegetation and trash, and no construction updates.

The property sits in ANC 5A08. Residents may direct questions to ANC Commissioner Elaine Alston (5A08) at 5A08@anc.dc.gov or (202) 481-2115.
