I disagree - it will be a nightmare for pike-area residents during the at least two years of construction needed to install streetcar infrastructure in two lanes along the entire easternmost five miles of the pike. And it will affect cross-county commuters, too. Good luck trying to travel on Glebe through the Columbia Pike intersection while that intersection and all nearby intersections are closed or dug up. Anyone who calls that a minor impact obviously doesn't have to travel along or past the pike.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963208964879498427.post-86140275349294780322012-03-10T07:10:01.563-05:002012-03-10T07:10:01.563-05:00Why can't I buy the townhouse where I live?
