[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ugh, Langley for Bloomingdale? Langley makes no sense, my preschooler is supposed to cross North Cap twice a day? That's our "neighborhood"? I think not. So upset about this. Will definitely be at the community meeting. [/quote]

Are you planning to have your preschooler walk to and from school alone?[/quote]

Yep, just going to tuck a little child's sized pistol in his pull ups and wish him luck.

[b]Have you ever cross North Cap?[/b] There are approximately 2 places, total, to do it and every single one of them is a death trap. I'm afraid to do it myself, let alone with a 4 year old during rush hour.

Beyond that, this is not our neighborhood. The new plan isolates Bloomingdale from its surrounding community; it makes no sense. They're trying to "integrate Eckington" but drawing a line around a six block strip of Bloomingdale is not going to do it. I'm a 15 second walk from "LeDroit Park" and 10 minutes from the closest corner of Eckington. [/quote]

Yes I've crossed N Cap, many times, across the T overpass and Rhode Island overpass. It's perfectly fine, and that's what you'd do to get to Langley from west of N Cap, because Langley is just south of T. It is a bit strong to describe the T overpass or the Rhode Island overpass as death traps. Crossing at Florida, maybe you have a point there.

I understand that you're upset about being zoned out of (Seaton? Garrison?), and it sounds like you are on the western end of Bloomingdale. But you are stretching it a little saying that Le Droit Park is part of your broader neighborhood and Eckington is not. Long term, anything that re-unites Bloomingdale and Eckington is beneficial. These were basically one and the same neighborhood with North Cap running down the middle, prior to the freeway conversion of North Cap. Plus,[b] Eckington is gentrifying as fast as Bloomingdale[/b], as is Stronghold, so based on the boundary for the new Langley I think this could actually be a pretty strong ES.

Nobody but property owners in Eckington thinks that. [/quote]

Agree.  They are dreaming and I live in neither.[/quote]
