Toomey, Permit reviewer for the Town of Glen Echo Subject: Progress report on Vassar Circle Development and Construction  To:  Willem Polak, Mayor, Town of Glen Echo  Date: April 8, 2020  The status oft the Vassar Circle development, as of Wednesday, May 6, 2020, is that the final mill and overlay paving oft the entire circle has been completed. A significant area of roadway base repair was also made, as part oft the final paving work. The work was performed by A.B. Veirs & Sons, Inc., a seventy three year old Montgomery County paving company which is still run by the Veirs family. The Extensive base: repair was also included int this work. While planning this work, several areas of the existing roadway surface were identified as deteriorated, with an "alligatoring" surface, indicating a failed, and unstable roadway base. With the roadway surface milled, the condition oft the base was then visible, showing more than expected of an inadequate base structure. The areas were marked, and on the second day oft the operation, the areas identified were milled an additional four inches, with ai four inch Fromi the various excavation activity over the duration of this project, and from what was learned during the mill and pave operation, it is likely that the first paved road of Vassar Circle, was aj placement of one tot two inchi round' "river stone", placed on the existing dirt roadway ground, and sealed with at tar binder. This paved area was likely only 12 to 15: feet wide, and over the years was widened, and overlaid with additional forms of asphalt paving. With age, and a greater volume ofheavier traffic, in areas where that original base was not very thick, it failed. The areas that were: removed were loose stone, with little or no binder remaining. Thei finished: roadwayi is now a surface which should last 151 to 20 years before Remaining work for the Vassar Circle right-of-way includes thei installation of the concrete driveway aprons at each oft thet three additional undeveloped lots. For each lot, the driveway location will: serve as its construction entrance, and the apron can not be installed until most oft the work on the loti is complete, toj prevent damage to the apron. Additional work includes fire lane "no parking" curb painting and Very little work progress is evident at #4 Vassar Circle, the house currently under construction. Trash and debris has been cleaned up, and the port-a-john has been removed.

It looks rather bare right now which is normal for a new garden. It takes time for the plants toi fill in as they grow and as the temperature warms. The bench that will be placed neart the Garden has been ordered as well as some of the plaques. One plaque will go on the bench to honor Speke and. Julia Wilson for their donation of the bench. The other plaque identifies the Garden as honoring Nancy Long. The general donation plaque has intentionally not been ordered because we hope there will be further donations and we do not want to make the plaque twice. Plant labels have also been ordered and will be placed on the woody and perennial plants. The annuals will have temporary labels since they change every' year. You will observe that this garden will soon flourish and be attractive to an array ofl birds, The Environmental Committee hopes to plant some trees along the right-of-way, adjacent to the new garden (towards the MacArthur Blvd. side of the right-of-way), that it is hoping to get for free through PEPCO. The new trees will replace some of the trees that have been removed and are needed to help soak up some of the excess water that runs into the area during heavy  butterflies, as well as a variety of pollinators and beneficial insects.  rains.
