Park View, D.C.

In May of this year, representatives from CVS visited Park View to meet with the community. At that meeting it was announced that they were shooting to open the store by July 4th. At that meeting the community was also informed about the store’s hours of operation.

While the development has been moving along quickly, it has not kept pace for the July 4th opening date. Current estimates have the store opening by the end of July.

The fence along Georgia Avenue has come down

Still, the site is starting to look less and less like a construction site. The most noticeable recent development is the removal of the chain link fencing and jersey barriers along the Georgia Avenue side of the property. The sidewalks are now installed and permeable pavers exist in the easement between the sidewalk and street. Though the sidewalk is on the narrow side, tree boxes have also been included.

We first saw trees proposed for the Georgia Avenue side of the property in the rendering (at right) for the project before ground was broken last November. Once construction was underway, the width of the sidewalk seemed at times to be too narrow to support trees. As you can see from the images below, however, trees do seem to be planned.
