Have your say on the new Development Concept Plan for Shepherd Parkway

Ward 8 Woods (formerly known as the Committee to Restore Shepherd Parkway) has been advocating for improvements to Shepherd Parkway since 2011.


Now, National Capital Parks-East is creating new Development Concept Plan for Shepherd Parkway, and there's a critically important public meeting this week. If you care about the future of the park, please attend!

Wednesday, July 10
 6:00 - 8:00 p.m.

Bellevue Neighborhood Library
115 Atlantic Street SW
Washington, DC 20032 

In addition, please submit comment online here. The official comment period ends July 26. 


Ward 8 Woods is advocating for:
 
  •  New signage to identify the parkway, interpret its historical and natural significance, and discourage dumping
 
  • Hiking trails along the full-length of the Parkway, with connections to adjoining streets and existing trails within Oxon Cove and Oxon Run.
 
  • A year-round schedule of free NPS-sponsored public programs such as live music, environmental and historical presentations
 
  • Enhanced dumping enforcement in critical areas
 
  • NPS support for the removal and control of invasive species
