[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually, for Capitol Hill, etc. it is not "pretty accessible." Despite its proximity, it requires crossing Virginia twice which is an essentially an extension of the highway and potentially multiple interstate ramps. This is extremely dangerous for anyone, especially children. Not to mention the supposed future major construction rail project which will present even greater hazards.[/quote]

What's with the faux drama?  Our family crosses Virginia Avenue on a regular basis to get to places like Canal Park, the Yards and Stadium, as do families living in Capitol Quarter, some of whom attend Brent.  it's not like there are non-signalled intersections, except for Fifth Street, which doesn't cross under the Freeway.  Not sure where these multiple interstate ramps are beside the Sixth Street off-ramp and Third Street on-ramp.  While i would like to see MPD enforce traffic laws and have DDOT come up with traffic calming and pedestrian/cyclist safety measures, you may need to get out more.  I personally find crossing Pennsylvania Avenue with children far more chellenging.  [/quote]
