People complained about closing the service lane in Cleveland Park, how the former Babe's site in Tenley wasn't going to have parking, or how the 15 year 'battle" over Cathedral Commons was going to ruin the neighborhood. Yes all these things happened and pretty much nothing has changed.

Just better shops, more housing and better pedestrian experience.

Maybe it is time to stop listening to the NIMBYs in total and move on with the new development and progressive transportation initiatives.[/quote]

the service lane debate is an evergreen one.  The ANC 3C commissioners under 50 have been tagged with being "pro chain store" - not because they have proposed closing the service lane or because they are pro chain store, but because they are seen as a threat to the slow decline of CP.[/quote]

Yes, I agree, the people who have lived in Cleveland Park for 30+ years have ruled over its decline. It is time to put a stop to it. That is why the new development there is a good thing, as are closing the service lane and adding bike lanes so more people can get there safely.[/quote]
