On Monday, October 17, 2011 the Rail-Volution DC conference did a neighborhood tour with representatives of the DC Department of Housing and Community Development, DC Department of Transportation, Office of Planning, Four Points LLC, ARCH Development Corporation, The Historic Anacostia Block Association, and yours truly to discuss current and future transportation and development projects in Anacostia.  Including video from our different stops around the neighborhood, including some breathtaking views from the roof deck at the DHCD building. There were more stops than just these but a sister was wearing 4 inch heels and had to call it a day.
