Georgetown University is still grappling with a 10-year plan that includes a shuttle loop that some say will bring unnecessary traffic and noise into border neighborhoods. The university presented its revised plan, as it is required to do to get mandatory District approval each decade, in a hearing Thursday night before the D.C. Zoning Board. The hearing stretched five hours before the board chose to end the meeting and schedule two more dates to debate the plan. The plan has been in the works for two years.
Georgetown University President John DeGioia said the school wants to offer housing to all of its 6,675 students, but can’t without expansion. Currently, nearly 80 percent of students live on campus.
