-Jon Kardon presented the construction traffic control plan for View 14. Construction at the site is scheduled to begin in December and will last for two years. Major impacts of the plan include closing one northbound lane on 14th Street to construction traffic only, and closing the sidewalks around the perimeter of the site to pedestrian traffic. Ernest suggested that the plan incorporate the plans for Parcel 34, 1330 Belmont, and 2400 14th Street. In addition, Ernest suggested that the sidewalk on Florida Ave. be opened at night and closed during work hours. Richard Fishman suggested that the construction traffic lane on 14th Street be opened to regular traffic during non-work hours. Richard motioned that CSNA oppose the View 14 traffic control plan. CSNA voted against the opposition of the traffic control plan by a vote of 4 – 1 – 4. Level 2 Development will meet with DDoT, other neighborhood associations, and the ANC prior to returning to CSNA at the November meeting.
