Rebuilding Place in the Urban Space

"A community’s physical form, rather than its land uses, is its most intrinsic and enduring characteristic." [Katz, EPA] This blog focuses on place and placemaking and all that makes it work--historic preservation, urban design, transportation, asset-based community development, arts & cultural development, commercial district revitalization, tourism & destination development, and quality of life advocacy--along with doses of civic engagement and good governance watchdogging.

Washington regional heavy and light rail transit network, 2030, as proposed by WMATA transportation planners

(One of the reasons I have a lot of difficulty reading blogs like DCist and others is that the quality of the commenters is so abjectly bad. People say stupid idiotic things and have no desire to improve the level of their knowledge or the quality of their discourse. I just can't stand it, so I don't even bother...)

With all the confusing and vague WTOP and Examiner stories recently about what WMATA wants to do long-term (what are these inter-line connectors, is the stop in Georgetown going to be elevated, etc.) I made a map summarizing the proposed Metrorail improvements in last week's board presentation.

See "What WMATA is really suggesting."

Thank you David for shedding light on what to us seems obvious, but to many others appears to be dark, murky and fraught with misunderstanding.
Washington subway system, 2030
Washington heavy rail (subway) and light rail (not streetcar) transit system, 2030, proposed.

(Note I still think my preferred routing of the Silver Line past Rosslyn as what is now the Separated Blue Line might make more sense.)
