No surprises in Alexandria waterfront plan

After some delay, Alexandria planners have released the city’s waterfront plan, which is available online for public comment. The plan pretty much looks like what the city promised — more waterfront dining, a resurrection of the old Beachcomber Restaurant on The Strand, more public park space, the works.

But what is interesting is that a plaza with outdoor seating, vendors and food carts and a winter skating rink is still planned for the area where King Street meets the Potomac River. That area was subject to a court case that was recently decided in favor of the Old Dominion Boat Club.
