Hardy field and playgrounds continue to look better, thanks to John Davis at
DC Parks & Recreation and the "Friends of Hardy". There is a new elegant, low
maintenance black fence along the field on the Foxhall Road border, with matching
black safety railing for the ramp, and bicycle parking facilities near the Rec.
Center. The entrance to the Tot Lot is freshly paved with engraved bricks
containing names of all those who gave donations for equipment, and the sandbox
is overflowing with seven tons of new sand!
Ward 3 Traffic Committee now has a working spreadsheet list of places for
every ANC where action was requested, with assignment of the ANC commissioner
responsible for oversight and city agency responsible for action, including
target dates for completion. Ward 3 Neighborhood Service Coordinator Phil
Heinrich is maintaining this, ensuring that it will be a living document.
The intersection of Foxhall and MacArthur sports new “Don’t Block the Box”
signs, plus a painted grid on the street to reinforce the message. While this

deliberate lack of synchronization with those at MacArthur & Foxhall. How
