Summary

Public works reported progress on Lindaway sidewalk work (about 80% complete), Forest Parkway landscaping (about 70% complete) and Metcalf Road resurfacing while noting easement work for a Waldorf Road sidewalk projected for January 2026.

Director Matthews of Forest Park’s public works department summarized operations and capital-project progress at the Ward 1 meeting.

Matthews said crews collected 60 bags of trash and ran the street sweeper for 95 miles during the reporting period. The dog park across the street is now open and operational.

On capital projects, Matthews reported the Lindaway sidewalk replacement is about 80% complete and the Forest Parkway landscaping project is about 70% complete, with an anticipated finish next month. The Metcalf Road extension is being resurfaced, and staff are working to acquire easements for a Waldorf Road sidewalk; easement work is proposed to start January 2026 (the speaker distinguished easement acquisition from construction).

No votes or funding decisions were announced during the briefing. Residents seeking details on schedules or property‑specific questions were encouraged to contact Public Works.
