Mayor Williams’ stadium parking compromise is moving forward. The plan would construct parking facilities satisfying to the Nationals ownership mostly above ground, but wrap them with retail, restaurants, condos and a W Hotel. The $300 million private development isn’t ideal – every square foot given over to parking is a square foot taken away from a more productive use, but neighborhood sidewalks will be enriched rather than deadened, so the plan is acceptably workable. Perfection makes for boring cities anyway, we guess.
