Bradley,

The Cafritz proposal isn't all that dense. 37 acres translates to about 1.6 million sf of land area. 2 million sf of development on that land gives you an FAR of about 1.25. I'd also note that this is a lower FAR than you'll find adjacent to H St NE.

In short - no, I don't think the scale is too large. If anything, I'd probably argue that it's too small.

The benefits of that corridor is the context - the surrounding areas can already be walkable if they had more to walk to. Put that in a larger context and you can envision a larger corridor of walkable densities up and down Route 1.
