Mike Neibauer reported in the Washington Business Journal that Tommy Wells is working to make the Giant coming to 3rd and H a reality by amending the H Street TIF to fund the construction of parking spaces for it and to make it accessible to small business owners.

I am disappointed to hear that Tommy Wells is hoping to add 279 parking spaces to 3rd and H St NE. That will make the H St NE area even less pedestrian and bicyclist friendly and will increase congestion in the area. It will likely also provide a disincentive to use more fuel-efficient modes of transportation (such as buses, the metro, etc.).

ReplyDeleteThere in NO way that I am going to the Giant store via bus or Metro or the streetcar, and struggle with bags of groceries, when I have a perfectly good vehicle to use for such errands.
I'm sure not going to do it when it's 20 degrees, pouring down raining, or late at night when I might have to wait more than 1/2 hour for a bus.
Any of these situations is even more difficult for women with small children, the elderly, or physically challenged.
It's not safe for a woman to walk home alone late at night on dark deserted streets - from either H Street or a bus stop.
Vehicles are a convenience and sometimes a necessity. Good development on H Street requires that we provide for them.
