The City didn't get all 50 feet it wanted, but the developers of a hotel / apartment / parking garage project around 10th and M did offer up 30 feet which was good enough for the City Council. To that I say: fantastic! There remains quite a bit of work to be done before the first dirt is turned, and as we learned with Catalyst One -- aka Project Blacktop -- it ain't over 'til the building is built. But this is a step forward rather than a step back. I'll take it.
Incidentally, it's great to see some development Downtown south of O Street. Other than the big church renovation a few years back -- I always forget the name of that church -- south Downtown doesn't seem to get much love. And yet there are plenty of opportunities for growth there.

See what your friends and neighbors have to say about this.
I believe that church was St. Paul UMC.
The Building that houses the NU Foundation was a recent addition to the area. Hopefully the ground level of this proposed M Street Project will have a decent businesses for food, coffee, etc.
Is the K-Street project going to resurface - the renovation of the large brick building that the County uses as cold storage?
Yep, that’s it. Thank you. I can’t figure out why I can never remember its name.
