I live near the Ward 6, 5, and 7 border. I attended the April meeting you noted, and it was a farce. DDOT presented no options, and wanted no actual input (except for the cosmetic exterior of a transformer station at 12th & H) DDOT representatives literally said the car barn was going there at the school, the plans had already been decided.

I fully support the streetcar, I welcome it's effects on the neighborhood, and property values. However, I completely agree with local residents who object to the placement of the facility in front of the school, this isn't NIMBYism, this is demanding DDOT and the Mayor work a little harder to find a better location for it. RFK is an obvious choice and it appears zero effort was put into securing a location there.

DDOT has said they want to work with the community, but I haven't been to a meeting where they actually wanted input, they just want residents to feel like they're being listed to. It's pandering, and it's obvious.
