May Eliminate proposed South Capitol Commons (traffic oval)

South Capitol Street EIS- official site

OFFICIAL PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD ENDS MARCH 31, 2008

Alternative 1
(no South Capitol Commons)

Alternative 2
(with South Capitol Commons)

Both eliminate the northbound flyover ramp to I-395, replacing it with a traffic light intersection.

Both ignore the proposed South Capitol Square at M Street.

Incredibly, the South Capitol Commons -- the drastically scaled back vestige of US NCPC's previously showcased Extending the Legacy South Capitol Mall -- is NOT guaranteed.

2005 NCPC study
with South Capitol Commons and the Square at M Street

This 2005 NCPC study curiously shows the St Vincent De Paul Church removed, even though the 2003 ULI study that proposed the Square, shows it with that church structure.
