<br>I believe these are the documents that were available at the meeting last night, plus a couple that were added today:<br><br><ul><li><div><font size="3" face="Times New Roman, Times, serif"><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.riverdaleparkmd.info/draft%20conditions%20of%20support,%201-9-12.pdf">Draft conditions of support, 1-9-12</a></font></div>

<br>I am very disappointed at the placement (seen in <font size="3" face="Times New Roman, Times, serif"><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.scribd.com/fullscreen/77776482?access_key=key-202vrrzdjke27eoglzfp">Exhibits 1-9-12</a>) </font>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.<br>

Many if the issues you raise are also addressed in the Cafritz project documents that are online on the town website.<br></blockquote></div><br>
