OK, I'm confused ... When we advocated that the Purple Line should connect to the new Walter Reed, you scoffed. When we call the Georgetown Branch of the Capital Crescent Trail -- enjoyed by thousands of bikers, hikers, and families daily -- a park, you call us tree-huggers. When we say running trains at 45mph where kids will cross at-grade to go to school is dangerous, you call us NIMBYs. Am I the only one who sees your hypocrisy? Put streetcars on the street, save greenspace for trails and parks, and get real cars off the road with good transit projects for our limited county and state funds. You won't have to worry about Connecticut Avenue being high speed ... Between BRAC and the increased development at Chevy Chase Lake (due to the Purple Line allowing for more growth at the intersection of Connecticut Avenue and Jones Bridge Road), it will be a parking lot.
