  • Restore Mass Ave Tree Plaza Press Release
    Re-greening Embassy Row restoremassave.org RESTORE MASS AVE PROPOSES TREE PLAZA BY PNC BANK ON DUPONT CIRCLE Nonprofit unveils plan for shaded space at city’s most popular Capital Bikeshare station EMBARGOED until November 20, 9 am 2015 | Download pdf RMA Contact: Carole Feld [email protected] | 202-415-2669 | More at restoremassave.org/dupont-tree-plaza/ WASHINGTON DC (November 20, 2015) Today Restore Mass Ave (RMA), a nonprofit working to restore the historic tree canopy and landscape of Embassy Row, released its Tree Plaza Concept Plan. The plan envisions how the barren city sidewalk on Massachusetts Avenue by the PNC Bank Dupont Circle branch can be planted with nine new shade trees. Now the 7,100-square-foot sidewalk area at 1913 Massachusetts Avenue NW, in the heart of the Dupont Circle neighborhood, encompasses a bank entrance and ATM, a future entrance of the Dupont Underground, the city’s busiest Capital Bikeshare station — and just two struggling trees. LEFT: Proposed Tree Plaza looking east. RMA sign is at far left. Leo A Daly/Restore Mass Ave RMA has been planting and arranging care for trees west from 20th Street along Massachusetts Avenue NW to Wisconsin Avenue NW since 2006. To complete its re-greening of Embassy Row, the group now proposes that the current heat island by the bank be transformed into a shaded, inviting community space. The pervious area would quadruple from 4 to 16 percent thanks to the additional tree boxes and the enlarged lawn near the bank’s parking lot. The plaza area and proposed new tree sites are entirely on city land.
