[Archived] Potomac Yard Development Schedules Construction Work at Simpson Park

For Immediate Release: December 6, 2011

As part of the construction of Potomac Yard Park, Potomac Yard Development LLC (PYD), will rebuild the restroom and storage building at Simpson Park, located at 426 E. Monroe Ave. PYD’s General Contractor, KT Enterprises, will demolish the existing building in December 2011. A new building will be built on the same footprint and location as the existing building. At completion, the new facility will provide the public with modern restroom facilities as well as additional functionality for City Maintenance Crews.

During construction, Potomac Yard Development and the Department of Recreation Parks and Cultural Activities will be providing temporary facilities for restrooms to the park users. There will be a construction staging area in the gravel lot immediately north of the existing building. During construction, the dog park and the fields will remain open as scheduled and access will be maintained to the Simpson facilities. As with any construction process, there may be temporary interruptions to services and access. Residents will see equipment in use and crews at work during the daytime. For your safety please use extra caution in moving around the site as it will be an active construction zone.
