[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I remember the story about how one of the leaders of the anti-Purple Line groups had expanded his fenced yard well into the right of way. You can't take land from the government by adverse possession but he (and his neighbors) were arguing that they began doing this when CSX owned the land so it was now theirs. [/quote]

[b]Sounds like something for the courts to decide, not you or I  [/b]

It might take years, with appeals, before we really know for sure. In the meantime, construction will have to be halted. [/quote]

Fortunately the courts did decide. He lost. In 2016. I'm surprised that you haven't heard about this.

Not familiar with it, but I don’t live in that neighborhood either.

The environmental impact filings that are being prepared right now are my area of concern, not some silly attempt at adverse possession.

But a threat to endangered migratory fish from siltation in the stream where they spawn is a very big deal. Even the Feds will want to weigh in on this, after American Shad and Blueback Herring have both been found in Rock Creek now. [/quote]

Huh. Because blueback herrings aren't listed as endangered or threatened either. And American shad are also not an endangered or threatened species.

I hope your lawyer works pro bono.[/quote]
