Wow someone has a hate boner for cheh. What did she do to you? Show a little respect for all people, while simultaneously getting new amenities in a city predisposed to building absolutely nothing in Ward 3?

Residents have been asking the city for an outdoor pool in ward 3 for decades. Cheh carried it home.

The problem is that she shoe-horned it into one of the most challenging locations in the ward, in a small park that sits on top of natural springs and is not very metro-accessible. None of the District agencies favored the location. It’s all on Cheh.

Please send a link. I can't find the plan that indicates where trees will be added to replace those that were removed.

Please send the url for DC’s plan for reforestation of the park slopes and other cut area. It’s not apparent from the website.

Crickets ... or cicadas.

Or maybe some of us being outside and enjoying the beautiful weather all day.

We live in AU Park, which is kind of “kid central” in Ward 3. Why didn’t they build the pool in Turtle Park which has lots of room and mostly level?

"she" didn't shoehorn anything. The city looked at different spaces and Hearst was determined to be centrally located enough to cover Upper NW. Palisades was too far west and Chevy Chase too far north.

Because the baseball lobby wanted their two full fields there and lobbied hard against it.

The trees are not coming back. Who wants a pool that is always in the shade?

Hearst Park did not have powerful enough friends, at least none who carried influence with Cheh.

DPW admitted at the timer that they had done no comparative site selection that included Hearst. The decision was made by Cheh’s office. Neither Bowser nor her agencies supported it but they had to follow the lead councilmember on the site choice.

Just love the Metro style-elevator tower that sticks up above Hearst Park. Let’s hope that it doesn’t stink of urine the way the metro elevators do.

Hearst used to be a pleasant urban park. Now it looks like a metro stop. Thanks Mary Cheh and your developer friends.

They were way overgrown weeds that needed to be cleared out, as those hills hadn't been touched in decades. Good riddance. Can't wait for the new plantings that will be accretive to the park as the project concludes.
