Intersection of Upshur, Kansas and Georgia Avenue by Petworth Library is closed at the moment. At least two people injured in what looks like a traffic collision between an electric bike and maybe a vehicle. One person rushed off in ambulance, and one appears unfortunately deceased. No other details. (photos from bystander)

This follow-up article by the WashCityPaper looks at the status of the little playground two years after Petworth News first reported on it. “The National Park Service demolished an unsafe playground but then abandoned the little park near Grant Circle. Neighbors have been looking for a solution ever since.” Bonus Grant Circle History from Petworth News: This isn’t the first time children have been displaced from Grant Circle Park. In 1922, The Evening Star reported that the land within Grant Circle would be converted into a park space in order to prevent the neighborhood children from playing baseball at the site. https://washingtoncitypaper.com/article/777592/how-lack-local-control-doomed-petworth-playground/ .
