NPS Maintenance at Reservation 74

Tuesday November 5, 2013

Last week, the National Park Service (NPS) conducted long-needed maintenance work on Reservation 74 (located at 5th & Eye St) in response to a request from the Mount Vernon Triangle CID. NPS installed five new benches and three new trash cans in the park, as well as painted the historic wrought iron fence. NPS also has plans to repair the sidewalk.

Earlier in the fall, NPS and the MVTCID held a productive onsite meeting to discuss partnership opportunities, infrastructure repairs, enhancing the design of the park and the ability to activate the space with events. Thank you to NPS for the quick response and helping to improve the MVT community green space.
