[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess you would know if you lived anywhere near it, but one-way residential side streets that are already so busy that they have restrictions on them; overcrowded schools, and overcrowded public transportation (and by the way, when I say public transportation, I mean buses--there isn't a Metro station within walking distance). You should see the line to get a Wisconsin Ave bus at the corner of Wisconsin Ave and Calvert in the mornings. Zoning laws exist for a reason.  [/quote]

:roll:  Better these families be sent to a motel in PG County than have a few more people wait for the bus or another multi-family housing structure be built fronting Wisconsin Avenue.  Out of sight, out of mind.  Cathedral Heights is part of a larger city and Stoddert is capable of educating a few more kids.[/quote]

The sidewalk at the bus stop is about 4' wide.  I don't have a dog in the fight as I don't live in Glover Pk/Cathedral Heights, but it's a terrible place for a homeless shelter because of the lack of Metro access.[/quote]

FFS.  Then widen the f'ing sidewalk.  The 30 buses take you across town.  [/quote]

Then they'd have to narrow Wisconsin.  DDOT already tried that in Glover Park and then abandoned it as an epic fail.  The sidewalk abuts buildings on the other side so it can't be widened that way either.[/quote]
