I'll start out by appealing directly to those reluctant to celebrate this event: Time to come together and forget any bitterness about the past.
Yes, you thought you were going to get the compromise solution -- the woonerf --that had been painstakingly worked out over years of meetings, negotiations, plans and counter-plans. The thing was even paid for, constructed, and done! And then torn up and replaced with the promenade that will be officially opened with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Saturday.
Now that it's set in stone....it's time to stop fighting over it.
You don't have to love it to come out and enjoy the day. It will be a fine old party. Your neighbors on all sides of the issue will be there. You can have fun, in spite of any harsh words that may have been exchanged over this topic on the Listserv (or in spite of any harsh words that the moderator may have decided not to publish!).
Here's the what, when, and why
Cleveland Park Announces Party on the Promenade:
DATE Apr 06 2024
TIME 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm
LOCATION: MAIN STREET Cleveland Park, 3400 Connecticut Ave NW
A Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting
From Cleveland Park Main Street:
With the construction finally completed, Cleveland Park is turning its focus to celebrating its new neighborhood space – the Cleveland Park Promenade. Formerly known as the Cleveland Park Service Lane, the Promenade now boasts ample sidewalks, seating, and dining options. As spring emerges, the landscaping will take shape and blossom with native plantings and natural pollinators. To celebrate, neighbors are planning a Party on the Promenade on April 6, 2024, from 4-6pm.
We will update as we progress, but neighbors and guests can anticipate:
Ribbon-cutting (with big scissors!) by local officials and business owners along the Promenade
- A giant thank you card for residents to sign for the construction workers
- Live music
- BYO Lawn Chairs
- Happy hour specials hosted by restaurants along the Promenade:
- Additional delightful vendors and guests to be announced in the coming weeks
- Performances by Flamenco4Kids and School of Rock, and Foundation Fitness
