[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've never heard of this neighborhood but according to Google maps the eastern edge of the neighborhood hits the intersection where the King Street Metro is.

And the furthest point in the neighborhood is maybe 1.5 miles from the station but much of the neighborhood is much closer than that which is to say very walkable.

It also appears to be a very low density neighborhood - this isn't Del Ray with all its row houses and homes on small lots.

[b]I suppose you could argue for a stop halfway between King Street and Eisenhower Avenue that would be near the east edge of this neighborhood [/b]but no way is the density there to justify spending $300 million on such a station.[/quote]

If you built a stop on say, Mill Road (but WMATA would have a conniption fit on the impact that would have on service to Eisenhower and Huntington) they would STILL have to cross Duke to get to Taylor Run. It would hardly be shorter than the walk to King, and would be lot less pleasant. I can't see anyone doing that. [/quote]
