[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So are they ever going to start construction or they did just close that parking lot for ****s and giggles? [/quote]

The first step is to build a multistory parking garage next to the police station.  Unfortunately for the folks who live nearby in McLean Gardens, the parking garage will be open, concrete beam construction, and there will be no screening or greening of the garage.[/quote]

I heard the garage was supposed to be completed in six months so that parking in the neighborhood won't be so screwed up, they haven't even broke ground yet on the site yet....I suppose six months really means a year and a half...[/quote]

It's running on DC time.[/quote]

This. I suspect this entire project won't be finished until a least 2020. The originally said 2019.[/quote]

The Washington Post reports that the next phase of DC's plans on homelessness will be to close larger shelters for single men in favor of new, "neighborhood-based" smaller shelters.  Guess where a second shelter for homeless men is likely to be co- located?  Well, why not on DC-owned land next to the new shelter for families?  [/quote]

Coming soon:  The ShelterS at Cathedral Commons.   :lol: [/quote]
