CUA Supports Most of Small Area Metro Plan

Catholic University supports most of the recommendations of the Brookland-CUA Small Area Metro Plan, a spokesman said this week.
“The university’s South Campus development has been enhanced by many suggestions from neighbors engaged in the city’s Small Area Plan process,” said University Spokesman Victor Nakas. “Like many Brookland citizens, the university supports most of the plan but disagrees with some of its recommendations.”
The deadline for submitting comments to the Office of Planning about the Brookland-CUA Metro Small Are Plan is today, Oct. 10.

In addition to the neighbors who came out against the plan or specific aspects of the plan, an association of bicyclists protested the effects the plan would have on the Metro Branch Trail, which runs along John McCormack Road.

The Washington Area Bicyclist Association came out against the Brookland/CUA Small Area Plan this week that extends 8th Street NE, which is part of the Metropolitan Branch Trail. WABA said on their website that it supported Abdo Development, which is working with the University to revitalize Southside, in its efforts to make the other side of 8th Street a pedestrian area with an arts walk.

“Abdo Development, which had proposed the pedestrian area, would also have constructed the Met Branch Trail in that area, greatly speeding up the design and construction process at no cost to D.C.,” said the post on their website.
