In fact the neighbors on the block are asking the same question. We do not support the project and are concerned because the entire project is suppose to cost $1 million dollars.

In addition, people have already created a make-shift memorial on the bridge on NH over the tracks, so the people who have been most effected have already decided that a memorial is appropriate.

NH and South Dakota do intersect, just before the bridge on NH over the tracks. There is an existing park there. This branch of South Dakota is near where Blair and NH NE intersect.

DC needs more beautiful things. 200k isn’t that much money cheapskates.

The bigger issue is… South Dakota and New Hampshire Aves NE do not intersect. And the park space is going to be where?

I wish this was /s.
