[RP TownTalk] Purple Line maintenance facility (was Re: TownTalk Digest, Vol 86, Issue 14)

Sun Sep 15 15:59:18 UTC 2013

Eric,

I hadn't heard about this, and dug into the environmental impact statement
to see what was up.  As I'm understanding the document right now, the
maintenance facility is in unincorporated Riverdale, near Veteran's Parkway
(beyond the Baltimore Washington Parkway).

I *did* find something else interesting in the document, which is a
"Traction Power Station" at "River Road, approximately 315 feet prior to
Kenilworth Avenue."  It appears that this is part of MNCPPC (Parks &
Planning) property.  I don't think this will be a big impact on the town
but will bring it to the attention of Council Representative Henry, in
whose ward the property is located.

Best,

Alan

Ward 2 Town Council Representative
