Takoma WMATA Station Boondoggle Threatens Corridor

Yet another insane development.  Whereas a past proposal would have 95 new dwellings, this project situates 440 new dwellings, directly along DC's sole northern radial transport corridor for the sake of added profits. 

Authorities expected to rubber-stamp this nonsense July 13, 2023

See:

(Note that Greater Greater Washington articles no longer routinely include a comment section- why might that be? - to be expected perhaps from a site that has devolved into a cheerleader for reckless development.)

Projects would mandate that the area be forever divided by elevated railway.

See my alternative proposal for a park covered multi-model transport corridor published in 1997

Note how all of this ill placed development came AFTER I made proposal during the later 1990s.

Read how the authorities deliberately blundered this planning in the wake of 11-22-63

Also see a look at the dangerous nature of such development, built within a freight rail derailment zone, placing transit development profits over people:
