Here are some views of what will be lost if WMATA builds about 85 townhouses on parts of the green space and parking lot at Takoma Metro. See the Friends of Takoma Transit website TakomaTransit.inf for information.

Hello, This website is designed to give you a picture in words, photographs, and maps of Advisory Neighborhood Commission 4B01. We also want to highlight the issues facing our community, with a special emphasis on those that will come to the full nine-member Advisory Neighborhood Commission 4B for a vote. From time to time we'll have photographs of our homes, landmarks, businesses, and people, and community events. We will also give you links to other community and D.C. government web sites. This is also the place to go for community meeting notices and agendas, and ANC minutes and financial documents and reports. Please let me know if there is material out there that you think might be relevant. I'll try to add it here. See pictures of Gateway's May 6 planting day on Georgia Avenue, spring in 4B01, signs on Blair Road, other places in 4B01, Improvement Needed!!. Click to see DC's larger interactive map of ANC boundaries (then use the magnifying glass icon to zoom in).

I look forward to meeting you soon. --- Sara Green, ANC 4B01

Does anyone know what this is? This "stone" sits across the street from ANC 4B01 on a traffic island at the intersection of Alaska, Kalmia and Georgia. It's dated "1932" on the bottom and has insignias from Maryland and the District of Columbia. It is also nearly split in two. So far, two D.C. government agencies say fixing it isn't their responsibility.
