From a Logan Resident:
Does anyone know when the restoration project for Thomas Circle will be finished?
The scheduled completion date was Jan. 2, 2006. I tried calling the contact person, Karyn Le Blanc, but the number given (202-298-2823) on the DC website isn't working.

I called Adish Najafi from DDOT to get an answer. He said due to weather conditions that they've had some delays in the process. (Actually fairly typical response and issue - I'm having the same problem with a plaza I'm working on in Virginia).
He said that he will get back to me shortly with answer. He's been good about communicating in the past and I'm sure he'll get back to me.
I just got done talking with DOT as well. They said they were hoping to finish in June. Also, their website should be getting updated. Cheers!
Wow... Karyn from DDOT! Responding on a blog!
How could the end date be Jan 2006- the construction is BARELY halfway through!! If there really was a "necessary redesign", as Karyn claims, why didnt they publicize this information in advance?
Also, what "weather issues" is Karyn referring to? Seriously?!! I walk through Thomas Circle every day on my way to work... this is a hurricane impact zone!
DDOT--6 months late a $1 million over budget!
Attacking Karyn is NOT acceptable and yet another reason to end anonymous commenting.
Karyn responded to the question at my urging. She deserves respect and commendation for answering our call.
I thank her and DDOT for being so responsive to the community.
I agree with Chris. Personally attacking people is not the way to go.
I do, however, wonder about the delay. What was the weather issue? Also, is the $1 million number correct?
