UPDATE: With a mere 14 minutes to spare, I've just now been informed that the 30-day comment period on the zoning text amendment ends today at 4:30, so if by chance you're reading this in the next few minutes, you can fax your comments and contact information to the DCOZ at (202) 727-6072 so that it can be considered when they take final action on July 30.
Maneuvering continues today on the No-Parking-on-Canal-Park front: there is word that the National Capital Planning Commission staff is recommending that the NCPC board should request at its Thursday meeting that the Canal Park site be excluded from the proposed zoning amendment that is allowing temporary surface parking on certain lots in Near Southeast. (The NCPC weighs in on all zoning changes that might "impact federal interests," and they are considering Canal Park an amenity for US Department of Transportation workers across the street, thereby making it of "federal interest." Heh.) It should be noted that the NCPC board does not have to go along with its staff's recommendations. In addition, the zoning commission does not have to incorporate the NCPC's comments when it takes its own final action on the parking lots, but I imagine the word will get to the zoning commission as loudly as it did to the NCPC about the strong desire to exclude the Canal Park blocks from the final parking amendment.
I'm waiting now for some clarification from the Office of Zoning of exactly what the future votes and procedures are on the parking amendment--it was adopted as an emergency measure in May, which I believe means that at some point the temporary amendment must be made permanent. That would appear to give time and wiggle room for additional changes to the amendment if desired by the ZC, but I'm checking to be sure.

Dr. Gridlock ventured into the first "real" morning commute since the closure of the Douglass Bridge, and gives his impressions on his Get There blog. As for the progress on the Extreme Makeover, Camera #2 of the Stadium Construction Cam shows that demolition of the road surface on the viaduct is just about finished, with only girders and their support columns still in place south of P Street. (Beware, the construction cam shot gets blinded out by the sun during late afternoon.) And if you're desperately refreshing my Makeover page hoping to see new photos, I don't anticipate posting a new batch until Wednesday afternoon.

While the standard disclaimer applies--"I don't cover Poplar Point, despite the public clamor to suck me into its vortex"--I know there's a lot of interest, so I will take a moment this morning to post this link to DC United's page with details and designs for their proposed new stadium (and attached hotel) right across the Anacostia River from Near Southeast. The soccer stadium would be on the eastern portion of Poplar Point, with its open north side facing the Navy Yard. If you click on the "View Photo Gallery" link and browse through the renderings, you'll see one that has a site map that gives a better feel for the proximity of the soccer site to the Nationals ballpark and other Near Southeast landmarks. There's also a copy of the presentation on their plans, which envision creating an entire neighborhood anchored by the stadium. They're looking to get Mayor Fenty to commit to getting this project underway so that the stadium could be ready for DC United's 2010 season. (hat tip to reader Brett for the link)
