Mrs. KPW,
Once you pass RFK's parking lot heading East, the golf range is on the left under the Train overpass and the bridge is right there. You don't even realize it is a bridge. The former Benning Road Trash site is between the Langston's Golf range/anacostia and Pepco. Who's going to object?
Heck, they wouldn't even have to have any notice to community, ANC, or anybody. They are going to say that the bridge needs to be reinforced but they have to do that anyways if they truly want to connect this Trolley to Ward 7.

I'm not clear where you are talking about. It should would be good if a group of citizens could tour together some of the areas of concern so that we could discuss the issues and generate ideas in a forum.

Subject: [ward5] Common Sense solution to Crummel and Spingarm Car Barn
Good Evening Ward 5,
I remember reading the other day that DC owns the former Benning Road
Trash Facility. So I am really missing something. I suggested this
as an option a very long time ago to be a solution for both the
Trolley Barn and Bus Parking Lot.
1. Why can't we reinforce the little bridge opposite the Golf Range on
Benning Road and put the Trolley Barn there. Sure it will cost but
wouldn't it open hide the Trolley Barn from view, open up Spingarm's
Land to be better utilized as it is on our School Property and it is
on a main thoroughfare. Eventually, they would have to take on the
expense if they really wanted to make the city "trolley (expensive
subsidized streetcar) green" for our Ward 7 residents.
2. Why can't they place the same Bus Barn right there on the same
site instead of at Crummel. That location on Benning Road is actually
closer to Union Station and Makes much more sense. This leaves us
with a Crummel School for our City to do something productive with in
that community.
This location would solve the problem for both issues that we are
facing. They have to reinforce that bridge anyways if they are going
to continue the Trolley line. Why not now?? As a community, we are
not going to protest that site and it is completely hidden from view.
What else are we going to use that site for??
