Washington, DC 20008-1207 l .A.2 (NCR-ROCR) FEB 27 2020 Mr. David Maloney State Historic Preservation Officer Attn: Mr. Andrew Lewis DC Historic Preservation Office Office ofPlanning 1100-4th Street, SW, Suite E650 Washington, DC 20024 RE: Rock Creek Park - Unified Signage Plan - Seeking Review and Concurrence to Finding of No Adverse Effect Dear Mr. Maloney: The National Park Service (NPS) is continuing the planning for a proposal to develop a unified plan for signage for U.S. Reservation 339 and other properties administered by Rock Creek Park in Washington, DC, including units ofthe Civil War Defenses ofWashington. As such, we seek your review and comment on the proposed undertaking. Existing signage within Rock Creek Park and its administered sites is inconsistent with modem standards, having been installed incrementally over the last 20 years. Further, many areas are lacking identification and visitor wayfinding. This plan represents a sign palette or system that can be used and implemented in the future and provides a consistent and unified look. Signs being designed under this project include park identity signs, roadway signs, and trail signs. The proposed system is based on a modem Uni Guide system and standards, and is being developed by Hunt Designs, which developed the sign system for the National Mall and Memorial Parks. Please find enclosed the final sign plan and renderings for your review. Please note, the signs will not all be replaced at once. Instead, replacement and installation of new signs will occur in phases when funding is available, or when an existing sign is at the end of its useable life.

  • Invasive Species in the Historic Dumbarton Oaks Garden
    Invasive Species in the Historic Garden: A Field Guide to Dumbarton Oaks Dumbarton Oaks Internship Report Joan Chen Summer intern ‘18, Garden & Landscape Studies Master of Landscape Architecture ‘19, Harvard GSD August 3, 2018 This report provides a brief overview of Beatrix Farrand’s use of plant species that are currently considered “invasive” and outlines management strategies. Farrand’s Plant Book for Dumbarton Oaks, written in 1941 and published by Dumbarton Oaks in 1980, is the main text referenced by this report. The Garden Archives at Dumbarton Oaks, as well as conversations with gardeners, also shaped this study. Two case studies explore how invasive species management might be approached in a historic garden. A spreadsheet with each mention of an invasive plant in Farrand’s Plant Book and its associated management strategies is included in the Appendix, providing a working document for Garden and Grounds staff. The Appendix also contains a brief reading list with titles on garden history, the native/non-native/invasive plant debate, and various plant lists and technical references, as well as a printable pamphlet with information on the six most used invasive plants at Dumbarton Oaks. Overview When Beatrix Farrand described plant growth as invasive, the term “invasive species” had not yet come into use. Her 1941 plant book includes two uses of the word “invasive” while describing maintenance of fast-spreading plants: At the little porter’s lodge, Ivy and Wisteria are used on the building itself, but here again they must not be allowed to become so invasive that the lodge is turned into a green mound.

The coordinates for the Washington Canoe Club are 77.071863 W and 38.904553 N, and they were obtained in January 2013 with, it is assumed, NAD 1983. There is no restriction on the release of the locational data to the public. For research purposes, in the land records for the District of Columbia the Washington Canoe Club was described as within the boundaries of parcel 27/36 in the 1910s and by the 1980s as in square 1180, lot 1. Present Owner/ Occupant: Today, the building is on land within the boundaries of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park. The clubhouse was built in the early 1900s by the Washington Canoe Club, and subsequently maintained by the Canoe Club membership. After a fire and life safety inspection revealed areas of concern, the National Park Service (NPS) closed the building in 2010.1 The boathouse was unoccupied from that time until early in 2013.

  • Running Routes from Yates
    Running & Hiking Routes Out of Yates (plus a few bonus routes) Many of the following routes are a kilometer one side or the other of 10K, but many can also be shortened or extended as you desire. I welcome your questions and clarifications: [email protected] (Tom Sherman, 7-7044) The convention in DC is that walkers, runners and cyclists stay to the right on paths and trails, passing on the left; make your life easier and stay to the right. Another convention in DC is for motorists to run you over, so please run with caution, without headphones, and never run in front of a driver that you have not make eye contact with. If passing someone closely on the left, especially someone elderly, it is good form to announce “on your left” even as a runner. Do not feel required to run out of the Yates Field House, for many of the runs described below may proceed through your neighborhood, in which case, join the route from there. Another great strategy is to use GUTS bus routes and Metro to take you to a destination from which you can run home. This is a great way to learn the city and to see areas otherwise too far to run through as a loop. Many additional DC trails are detailed on the DC area trail map that can be downloaded here: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/706401/Rock%20Creek%20Park%20Map.pdf Exits and Entrances to Yates To condense the route descriptions in the following pages, I will refer to the various exits and entrances to the Georgetown campus as displayed below: A: Medical Center Entrance 4 exit and entrance – turn right immediately out of Yates, circling behind Yates and following the path/road out of Georgetown University Medical Center (GUMC) entrance 4.

Washington, DC 20001 Re: Reference Case # 02-30, Georgetown University Boathouse Dear Ms. Mitten, On behalf of the Potomac River Sports Foundation, a non-profit charitable corporation organized and operated under the laws of the District of Columbia with a mission in supporting and promoting non-motorized water sports on the Potomac, I am pleased to offer the following comments with respect to the request from the National Park Service on behalf of Georgetown University for zoning a parcel ofland in the Georgetown section of Washington, DC along the Potomac River for a rowing boathouse. The Potomac River Sports Foundation supports the location of a boathouse in this area and believes that the plans for the Georgetown facility are consistent with historical and current uses in the area .. A rowing boathouse is an appropriate, water dependent shoreline use, and the location of this facility immediately adjacent to the University's campus eliminates the need for parking or frequent vehicular access. We urge the Commission to approve the applicant's request for W-1 or W-0 zoning with the appropriate adjustments requested. For more than 135 years, this stretch of the Potomac River has been used for recreational purposes for by rowers and scullers. Dating back to the late 1800's, Georgetown University, in fact, was one of the early institutions to have a boathouse in the area. From this Potomac River base, the University became one of four university founders of the Intercollegiate Regatta Association, the premiere intercollegiate rowing championship today.
