Blagden Avenue Draft Environmental Assessment (EA) evaluates the potential impacts from the construction of a hiker/biker trail along Blagden Avenue between Matthewson Drive and Beach Drive within Rock Creek Park, north central Washington, DC.

The proposed trail would allow safe pedestrian and bicycle access to Rock Creek Park and associated facilities, including the Valley Trail and the bike and foot trails that run throughout Rock Creek Park. Rock Creek Park is an administrative unit of the National Park Service (NPS).

Three alternatives are evaluated in this EA: the No Build Alternative, and two Build Alternatives: the North of Blagden Alternative, and the South of Blagden Alternative.

Impacts for the Build Alternatives are minimal. Although no trees will be directly impacted during construction of the North of Blagden Alternative, there is potential for some indirect impacts to trees due to the earthwork associated with trail construction. There are no potential direct or indirect impacts of the South of Blagden Alternative.

For years, Crestwood has suffered from an unacceptable number of electrical outages. Now, PEPCO is participating in community meetings and putting forth an aggressive upgrade plan to improve the electrical infrastructure serving our neighborhood.

More information about PEPCO's plans, including electrical feeder maps, is available here:

The 10 minute outage on February 3, 2007, was caused by an "emergency" which forced PEPCO to turn off power.

NEW REPORT! PEPCO has provided the May update on the improvements to Feeder 15197 which serves Crestwood and Petworth. According to the report:

Recent improvement work completed on this feeder has resulted in a significant reliability improvement. Pepco will continue monitoring the performance of this feeder to determine the overall effectiveness of the initiative.
