Welcome to Next Stop…Riggs Park

Posted by nextstoprp in Uncategorized

Welcome to Next Stop . . . Riggs Park, a community blog featuring news and items of interest affecting Riggs Park and surrounding Fort Totten communities.  Why the name Next Stop…Riggs Park? The Riggs Park neighborhood sits less than half a mile from the Fort Totten metro station in Northeast DC on the red, yellow, and green lines.  Hence the name.  Next Stop…Riggs Park will serve as the community’s stop for information and engagement.

Sometimes referred to as Lamond Riggs or Fort Totten, the neighborhood straddles Wards 4 and 5 and is bordered by Takoma to the north and North Michigan Park to the south.  The area will soon become home to two major mixed-use development projects.  Fort Totten Square, located at the intersection of South Dakota Ave NE and Riggs Rd NE, will break ground in late 2012/early 2013.  The other development (currently called ArtPlace at Fort Totten) will be located on South Dakota Ave NE between Galloway St NE and Kennedy St NE.  Stop by this site for information about development projects and other happenings of interest in Riggs Park and surrounding neighborhoods.
