[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, good news. Now that the Safeway is closing, it will force AU Park and Tenleytown residents to use Cathedral Commons and its Giant. I guess the traffic gurus were prophetic!

I am guessing it is a done deal that GDS will be able to close 42nd Street between Wisconsin and Davenport Street. That means all GDS traffic will need to come south on Wisconsin, west on Chesapeake and then to 42nd Street. Or, they will have to come up River and left on to 42nd Street. Either way, an area that is already a mess from a vehicular traffic standpoint will become much worse - for the residents of the area and for GDS families.

Who oversees DDOT and Ward 3? Mary Cheh. Where did her daughters go to school? Oh ya, GDS. Done. Deal. Folks.  This really stinks for the residents of the area who will be permanently inconvenienced and to what community benefit? With Ft. Reno across the street, the neighborhood doesn't need more "green space." It needs more residential, more retail and a viable street grid.

Or more likely the aforementioned Councilmember will actually flex some muscles with DDOT and miraculously the left turn restrictions off River will be removed and all the folks commuting from MD will access the site via Ellicott Street - I don't imagine the GDS crowd is going to appreciate going the long way around the block to get to the school and besides doing so might take away some of the usable land GDS needs to make all of this work.
