Support an alternative use for Bruce Monroe

How do you feel about a giant asphalt parking lot bounded by Georgia Avenue, Irving Street and Columbia Road?

If you think that an alternative use of Bruce Monroe is more desirable than the plan to make it into a parking lot, then be sure to check out http://www.stopthelot.com/.   This site includes a petition to "stop the lot", meeting announcements, and other opportunities to weigh in and take action in support a "greener, more community- and youth-oriented use that will serve the neighborhood instead of detracting from it."   (Go here for more on Stop the Lot.)

The featured WPC resource of the week is. . .
