I've got a few more itty bitty items, so let's have another tidbit go-round:
*
LOT LAYING: Enough people have written (and progress has been so slow) that I finally have to post that the work many of you are seeing on the
Congressional Square block at 1st and I isn't the beginning of development there--the word is that the parking lot on the west side of the block is being extended eastward.
*
TRAILER PLACING: A building permit just came through the pipeline for a temporary sales trailer at
1000 1st St. SE. The land. owned by Akridge, is unlikely to be about to see any large-scale construction, so might this instead be the beginnings of a leasing center for Toll's
River Parc across the street?
*
FERRY DOCKING: Following up on the
ferry news from last week, I finally heard back from the office of Frank Principi in Woodbridge--it sounds like the routes and docking locations are still not 100 percent decided on. There is a stakeholder's group that will ultimately make the decisions, and it is meeting later this month to work on the project. So reports of a "Navy Yard" destination or a St. Elizabeth's destination or a Bolling destination appear to be premature.
