Today was the first I’ve seen of the groundbreaking at the parking lot at E Howell & 16th. So it’s no mole, but it can rip asphalt up.

Set to be done in fall 2010, last I heard.

Editor’s note: Thanks for posting this. We have an update on all things Capitol Hill parks coming soon. In meantime, we’ve heard that the Seven Hills Park project pictured here should be ready this summer. There have been a few delays so we’ll make sure to ask about the updated timeline for this project, too. The Summit/John park had been slated for a March groundbreaking (hey, that’s now!) and was targeting a fall 2010 opening. BTW, by groundgreaking, Parks Department means this not the actual construction. Anyway, sorry for the confusion. So many parks!
