@MLD: Why the hell should the District begin what would no doubt be a ridiculously long process with the federal government to acquire a piece of the RFK lot when they already own a perfectly good piece of land a mere 700 feet down the road?

Don't want to disturb a really nice rant, BUT: I live nearby and drive through this area every day. The RFK lot that touches Benning Rd is really the obvious place to put it. It is NEVER used; it is alomost directly across the St from the school; it has a Metro flyover; and it is already paved over. The school grounds are beautiful and this would ruin its frontage. This is an industrial use that has nothing to do with academics.

They delay in obtaining the land from the feds is small price to pay for something that will be there for generations.

And it is mistake to conflate residents' pointing out the obvious error of this siting with general opposition to streetcars.
