[RP TownTalk] Fwd: Friends and neighbors,

[Melissa Avery]

I have spent a lot of time walking with my dog in the proposed areas indicated and frankly, from a civil engineering standpoint, ( I spent many years as an engineering drafter so I do know what I am talking about) there is not enough room for a road behind the Historic ERCO building,  for much more that a one lane access road. 
Not enough room to handle the 2000+ residents and patrons to the shopping center, and not enough room to handle a regular stream of semi trucks needed to stock the stores.

The Historic ERCO building belongs to the University of Maryland. Who amuses that the University will give up that building for Riverdale Park?

The only property that belongs to Riverdale Park in that area is the Field of Dreams.

Took me awhile, but i did find where the Cafritz documents reside. Here's a link to the page:
http://www.riverdaleparkmd.info/cafritz.cfm

the newest documents are at the bottom of the page

I believe these are the documents that were available at the meeting last night, plus a couple that were added today:


	* Draft conditions of support, 1-9-12
	* Agreement to support zoning reclassification 1-9-12
	* Declaration of covenants, conditions and restrictions 1-9-12
	* Exhibits 1-9-12
	* Schedule 1: Maryland Avenue Extension 1-10-12
I am very disappointed at the placement (seen in Exhibits 1-9-12) of the two arrows indicating "Potential CSX crossing locations" - one would drop down immediately in front of the historic NOAA building, the other would seem to plow through the middle of it - presumably this would take the between-building route suggested I believe by Councilman Thompson.  I still believe it would make the most sense to take the northern route, piggybacking in part if not entirely on WMATA land that is already in use for transportation - and would lead to the CP Metro station, maximizing that linkage.   I hope at least that this option is not dismissed summarily without pursuing it further.
