This is a greatlittle summary of everything going on next to Abdo (best I've read so far.) I do hope this one gets built and doesn't get too caught up in fights about alley closing or its height. The chosen architect seems like a good start.

There is an orange "Stop Work " sign on the ABDO sign. Does anyone know anything about it?

I hope that the ANC and the Zoning Commission will require at least 1:1 parking for the residential units, PLUS sufficient parking for the retail (keeping in mind on that front that the location is Metro & Metro bus accessible). 1:1 for the residential is of greatest importance. Even with the close location of Union Station and the ability for this to be a truly "smart growth" development, the fact remains that it is likely that most residents will have at least one car.
Finally, I hope that the developer will follow Abdo's suit and include a space or two for shared car services--Zipcar / Flexcar.

It would be nice to be able to call it something other than the former BP site. It would be nice to see a nice solid block of development on the west end of H.
Agreed on the shared car service.
