GM Jim Bowden is going to have a busy offseason, unless rumors of him being let go are more than just rumors. Please, please, please be more than rumors.
Legislation Would Revive Condo and Garage Development – The Post
Look who crawled out of the woodwork to try and save the stadium parking lot situation…Marion Shepilov Barry!
Council member Marion Barry (D-Ward 8) was leading the effort and had distributed a bill that seeks to alter the $611 million stadium cost cap approved by the council in March. The legislation would allow the city to spend money from the sale of development rights on stadium land to pay for the parking garages.
If approved at the council’s legislative meeting today, Barry’s bill would open the way for the District to resume negotiations with developer Herbert S. Miller. His proposal to build a mix of condominiums, shops and garages collapsed two weeks ago when he failed to reach agreement over financial terms with the D.C. Sports and Entertainment Commission, which is building the ballpark.
Oh the Lerners are going to love this one, but you know what? It’s a crazy idea, but it just might work.
