We are a community of well-constructed three-level townhomes situated among mature trees, conveniently located along the Capital Beltway between two major Metro stations, two major shopping malls, many grocery stores, outstanding schools, fine restaurants, golf courses, and numerous other amenities.

All Runnymeade streets are now usable!

Thanks to everyone for their cooperation.

What happens next?

Next week crack sealing should take place. This should not require that cars be moved.

This is being done after the street rejuvenation because of the nature of the rejuvenator product. The rejuvenator product we had put down is supposed to last twice as long as the sealing product we have used in the past. However, because of how the rejuvenator product works we were told if crack sealing was done first, i.e, before putting down the rejuvenator project, the crack seal would not have hardened for a very long time.

In the next two to three weeks, re-striping of all parking spaces, repainting of all reserved parking signs, and repainting speed bumps, should take place.

In most places, parking space stripes will only be on the concrete lip. The only exceptions will be for parking spaces on the curves on Heatherwood Court, Knights Ridge, and Castletown. For those spaces, approximately 30 in number, white stripes will extend 6 feet from the curb

We currently have a request for bids out and are waiting the results.

Volunteers are needed!
