Hey Friends and Neighbors -?

Wanted to let you know I heard back from DC Water last week after their meeting. ?They are still formulating their plan for the sewer updates and are collaborating with Washington Gas who have permits for updates as well.?

Both our ANC rep Kasie Durksit and our rep Kimberly Kennedy from Councilman Allen’s office have also contacted both agencies to alert them of the historic nature of the alley. ?As Corey and Kasie noted in an earlier email, both agencies are required to restore the alley to its original condition.?

I dug up some old letters from 2014 that several residents of the alley put together to request the historic restoration of the river rocks. ?I thought folks may be interested in what the alley looked like in the old days…. when sidewalks were death traps, road signs a rarity and bike lanes a dream. ?And when our alley was a big water cess pool!

Thank goodness those are bygone days!?

I have faith that the agencies will take care of River Rock Court - and I will keep checking in with the agencies and our neighborhood representatives to be sure they continue to advocate as well.

Cheers!?

Martha?
