Week in Review: The Roving Cyclist, the Barking Dog and Two Newly Restored Rain Gardens

Another week, gone. Where did it go? We'll do our best to recap it for you:

On Monday, we debuted from Jeff Lemieux, who, with the help of a camera strapped to his bike, is now our official Roving Cyclist. Watch the video to learn how to bike safely from the College Park Metro to Proteus Bikes in north College Park. 

A circulating the city may mean trouble for College Park, the city council agreed at its Tuesday night worksession.

One petition seeks to cap the amount of tax revenue the city can collect. The other attempts to eliminate the distinction between rental properties and owner-occupied properties in the city, which City Attorney Suellen Ferguson said is a clear attack on College Park's controversial rent stabilization law. Though it is unclear who is behind the petition, the council agreed that the Prince George’s Property Owners Association have a vested interest in both issues.

The Barking Dog after all, owner John McManus told Patch. Lingering problems between the former Thirsty Turtle owner and the building's landlord have stalled negotiations for the Bethesda-based bar to open a new outpost on Baltimore Avenue.

A near Parking Lot Z on the University of Maryland campus was identified as 21-year-old Adewunmi Omisore Adepegba of Greenbelt. Adepegba, a UMd. student, displayed no visible signs of trauma, and police do not suspect foul play. His cause of death remains unknown. 

Patch contributor Shannon Hoffman took another round of amazing photos for this week's Viewfinder. My favorite is the one of the baby chewing on her mother's shirt. See it and other photos .

22-year-old Stephan Weaver, who confessed to his role in the death of UMd. student Justin DeSha-Overcash, to a preliminary trial Friday morning.

In honor of Earth Day, a group of dedicated volunteers turned up in Duvall Field to help restore two of the area's rain gardens. Check out our video of the festivities .
