I think this could be a good idea as long as there would be a zoning change to allow for more development.

While we're in the neighborhood, I really think that a spur metro line to brightwood from either Takoma or Petworth would potentially give a big bang for the buck. From Missouri north the Walter Reed (Brightwood more or less) has a lot of potential. The Curtis site, The Safeway parking lot, a few midsize parcels and the 60+ acres of Walter Reed are a big opportunity. Also, the area to the west of Georgia has a lot of low rise R5B appartments that could really be reworked. A Metro Spur line could justify increasing the density and provide current residents with the population needed for the retail they desire.
