  1. Lisa, do you or anyone of your contacts have an idea of, in a “best case scenario,” with full funding and expediency of the involved parties, how long it could take to do all the necessary “studies,” environmental impact reviews, superfund/brownfield remediation, cleanup work, or other preliminary steps that would need to occur before this PEPCO site could be considered comparable to other parcels in D.C for the purposes of a higher and/or better use of the land?

    While this may be a question too broad to answer, I think it could more fully inform discussions and critical thinking in our community regarding suggestions that the PEPCO streetcar barn and training center should be located there, and how that could further delay the streetcar line being placed into farebox service.

    • Oops, did I call it a “PEPCO Streetcar Barn and Training facility?” What I am getting at is: how much more time would it take to run tracks out there and see it built there? That’s a perfectly responsible question for all of us to be asking.
