Over the loud protests of residents, the unfinished Alexandria waterfront plan is moving ahead to the City Council for approval. A rowdy, vocal crowd of residents packed a recent Alexandria Planning Commission meeting, urging commissioners to delay their scheduled vote on the plan. Most keyed in on new changes proposing two options for the Old Dominion Boat Club marina and parking lot at the base of King Street that were not in the original plan.

The city and boat club are still negotiating how that property would fit into the plan’s original goal of connecting King Street to the Potomac River and Waterfront Park.
