You elected the county councilmembers who approve these developments and developer-driven master plans. This is what you get. The council members get loads of cash in the form of campaign contributions. You get this. Next time please remember when you vote not to vote these peopke into office again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28521945.post-7538378647099227122013-02-10T17:28:30.454-08:002013-02-10T17:28:30.454-08:00I believe the developer of the Arlington Road proj...I believe the developer of the Arlington Road project offered space for the post office with just that intention in mind. But then the USPS announced at the last minute that they were not going to lease in the new building, which was a shock. Hence, we end up stuck with this 6900 Wisconsin Avenue mess. The Phoenix is a nice building, by the way.Robert Dyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01975969463714952623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28521945.post-38194778369791463542013-02-10T16:19:53.282-08:002013-02-10T16:19:53.282-08:00I wonder why they didn't incorporate a post of...I wonder why they didn't incorporate a post office into the development. <br /><br />The Phoenix condo in Clarendon was built a few years ago with a post office as part of it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28521945.post-22665844952699019132013-02-10T14:45:37.508-08:002013-02-10T14:45:37.508-08:00Unfortunately, the USPS announced last year that i...Unfortunately, the USPS announced last year that it had no intention of leasing space in the future building. So unless citizens and the media put big pressure on the politicians who let this happen, we're stuck with the 6900 Wisconsin Ave. post office debacle. Whatever shortcomings the Arlington Road site had, at least we had parking - and accessibility for seniors and those with disabilities.

That building sat so oddly because anyone who went into the post office felt like you were going in from the back entrance. AKWARD! If it's mixed use, maybe have the post office occupy part of the retail level...Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13652250109067991529noreply@blogger.com
