[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] What was the idea for the corner by the water plant, Potomac Ave and the entrance to the CCT?

The Capital Crescent Trail is owned by the National Park Service, but the DC Department of Transportation (DDOT) has agreed to take over the maintenance. DDOT would like to also maintain that little stretch by the water plant, make it so you don't have to get off of your bike when you turn off of Norton to get on the trail. At the January meeting of ANC 3D they voted on a resolution to endorse that. A couple of neighbors spoke out against it, using classic NIMBY terms -- we're not opposed to bike trails, we think they'd be great in other places, but near my house would lead to an influx of people from other places.

The resolution passed.

 I will look to get more involved in the various neighborhood groups. Maybe create a YIMBY faction.[/quote]

The NIMBY's are a minority, most people feel the way you do. The Palisades Community Association in particular has really changed in the past few years and now has a lot of members who are young families who are motivated more by hope than by fear.[/quote]
