The preferred transfer station rebuild option will be chatted through tonight at the Wallingford Community Council, at 7 PM in room 202 of the Good Shepherd Center.
A key question is if there’s a rezone, what amenities would make up for it? I personally would love to see a visitor space for school classes, but I’m biased by my youth. The highlight of going to school in Virginia is the school field trip to the cigarette factory- all those little cancer sticks being rolled and packed by machines is a wonder to behold.
There are also amenities to consider like the pocket park, community meeting room, and anything else you care to bring up. A splash pool? A frisbee golf park? A slide down the Wallingford steps?
Consider the stacked option without a rezone, and whether amenities compensate for larger footprints (concept 2 – maximum, concept 8/9-A – separate recycling. concept 8/9 –B – attached recycling, concept 12 – western entry). For reference, here’s a view of the dump today:
If you choose to come, please review the latest project status and the Q&A results from our last meeting. The process is fairly far along right now and we are hoping to use this meeting to stack rank alternatives and amenities, not rehash prior topics. Hope to see you tonight!
Still a really dumb idea – put it in Interbay, on the rail line where it belongs.
