Neighbors,
Councilmember McDuffie wanted me to share the following statement regarding the VRE train facility that is being discussed to go adjacent to New York Avenue NE:
“I oppose the proposal to park VRE trains along New York Avenue NE.
When I was elected to the Council, I spearheaded the creation of the Ward 5 Industrial Land Use Task Force and I share the vision for New York Avenue NE as outlined in the Task Force’s final report, Ward 5 Works.
The only acceptable path forward is for VRE to propose a facility that parks the trains underground, or creates a new infill rail station for MARC and VRE and, thus, would facilitate the required economic benefits for the surrounding communities.
The Ward 5 Works report can be found here: www.KenyanMcDuffie.com/Ward5Works”
Regards,
Nolan
