DC Metrocentric

The District isn’t the only one who has big plans for the banks of the Potomac. Alexandria’s Waterfront Plan is moving forward with the selection of Alexandria based EDAW as the planning consultants to assist the city with the redevelopment and design of Alexandria’s waterfront. A working session was held this week and the big theme seemed to be a need for improved public space and better waterfront access.

The plans don’t seem to be as commercially focused as some others in the area which makes sense considering most of Alexandria’s waterfront is public parks and we imagine any commercialization would rightly not be well received. Should be interesting to see what they come up with. [Photo: Onajr1980]
