Sat, July 18th: Poplar Point: Presentation on Preliminary Alternatives & Updates

Saturday morning citizen hearing set on Poplar Point. ‘Mayor Adrian Fenty’s economic development team will lay out three possibilities for Poplar, each with separate ideas about density, uses, traffic circulation, community connections and environmental sustainability. “You are going to see three alternatives that are uniquely different,” says Michael Durso, project manager for the city. The community’s input will then shape planning and the city will produce a draft Environmental Impact Statement, a planning document required for the land transfer, by the end of the year….One thing Durso doesn’t plan to bring up is a soccer stadium. That isn’t in any of the plans.’ The confab’s at 9 a.m. at Thurgood Marshall Academy." The program will begin at 10am.
