DC United in College Park?

January 25th, 2008  |  by David Daddio  |  published in Speculation

With plans to build DC United’s new soccer stadium on Poplar Point in Anacostia (DC) in shambles, Maryland officials are now vying for a chance to build the facility in PG county. The team is interested in “two locations in College Park”, according to a Washington Post article two days ago, but County Executive Jack [...]

Signs? We Don’t Need No Stinking Signs!

January 23rd, 2008  |  by Rob Goodspeed  |  published in East Campus

This post is by Clay Gump, a resident of College Park and member of the East Campus Community Review Steering Committee.
The topic of a recent East Campus meeting was traffic and how to plan for it. The East Campus project is going to present a challenge when dealing with the large mix of pedestrian, auto, [...]

Washington Post Covers Alignment Debate

January 22nd, 2008  |  by Rob Goodspeed  |  published in Purple Line, Transportation

The Washington Post today ran a story briefly describing the debate about where to locate the Purple Line on campus. While we think the new alignment being considered is superior to the now-abandoned Stadium Drive alignment, we continue to believe Campus Drive is the best alignment for campus. While administrators want to keep it off [...]

Purple Line Route Set, ‘Enormous’ Underground Parking at East Campus

January 15th, 2008  |  by Rob Goodspeed  |  published in East Campus, On Campus Development, Purple Line

The East Campus project is located roughly half a mile from the College Park Metrorail station, adjacent ten bus routes, bisected by a bike trail connected to a major regional trail system, and the future home of a Purple Line light rail station.
The project developers have made a guess as to how much less parking [...]

Property Hits the Open Market on Campus Drive

January 14th, 2008  |  by David Daddio  |  published in Speculation

An approximately 3 acre property just north of the proposed Mosaic at Turtle Creek project – a 300 unit condo not far from lot one and the business school. Could make a good site for a small residential project.

Yet Another Alignment

January 11th, 2008  |  by David Daddio  |  published in Purple Line, Transportation

(See interactive map)
After throwing together a handful of alignments, including the “chapel field alignment” (in blue on map) last month, we are getting word that the University is pursuing yet another alignment. Once again (deja vu) realizing the impracticality of a tunnel under campus, the administration is proposing a slightly altered chapel field alignment (in [...]
