The many vacant acres of land surrounding the
new Columbia Heights METRO Station have been kept undeveloped by the ineptness and
inaction and by the deliberate policy of the city government for nearly
thirty years. This land is popularly known as the Tivoli parcels because the
historic Tivoli Theater is a key property on it. Now, the Redevelopment Land Agency has
prepared a Request for Proposals (RFP), seeking developers for the land parcels. This RFP
is now being rushed with unseemly haste through the City Council on the pretense that
there is a crisis and emergency requiring immediate action. Here
are the background papers and related documents.
