The gap between the 14th St Bridge and the 15th Street Cycletrack has been filled thanks to a recent repaving by NPS. The Cycletrack is useable but not yet complete.

Thanks to the cabal for all of the work to organize BAFS.

Trail bump removal isn't a marketed use for scarifiers. We've only found 1 other group doing it. They're marketed pretty heavily for traffic line removal, uneven sidewalks and surface preparation on...

Miss you too Andy! We've joked some about having to reinstall bumps for speed calming purposes.

This was done by Arlington County based on a 311 request submitted by Friends of the Mount Vernon Trail. The staff member handling the request was great. He checked out the area the day after the...

An FoMVT volunteer took care of the ones on Trollheim tonight.

I seem to recall that Arlington built this park so it should be a 311 request.

Now of course African swallows are non-migratory.

Bridge 24 is now open and looks marvelous.

For TR Bridge users, a Friends of the Mount Vernon Trail volunteer cleared most of the overgrowth tonight.
