Planning ImageTakoma Central District Plan
Approved by DC Council June 4, 2002



Submission of the Plan to Council

The Mayor submitted the Final Takoma Central District Small Area Plan to D.C. Council on March 20, 2002. The Council will have to vote on the Plan within 45 working days.   Councilmember Fenty has reported that the 45 working days begin on April 8 when Council will officially receive it.

The Plan does not have to be voted up or down in total by Council.  Council can choose to accept only part of it. Click here for infromation from Adiran Fenty.
