Thanks to City staff for their quick efforts to begin addressing this service request (2183466). It appears this was done around 08/07/09, just 30 days from the service request submission. It's assumed it is a joint effort between Department of Works and Co-Ward 6 Outreach & Service Specialists Forest Hayes and Chris Taylor with the Executive Office of the Mayor.

Nice work. I'm fairly sure the lot behind the concrete barrier is owned by the feds. I always thought it would be a nice park or garden space.
Thanks Tom.
You are absolutely right, it is Federal property. I thought I researched this previously, but when I reviewed DCOZ map (http://dcoz.dc.gov/info/map/zmap11_pdf.shtm) it is labeled as Federal, not DC. Since that’s the case, I guess we won't see anything done with it, park or residential row houses (my preference) for a long time.
Thanks again!
