[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But is a pool for 3 months worth losing the tennis courts and fields that our kids depend on year round?

Everyone seems to think they can have their cake and eat it too. There is physically no space for a large pool, changing facilities, facilities for pool equipment, tennis courts, baseball fields, soccer fields, etc. And the fact that Cheh and DPR and DGS say it's going to happen despite there being no architectural plan is outrageous. Sure, they say it all coded like "there's no final decision, hint hint, wink wink." Absolute waste of money. [/quote]

There is definitely space for a pool.  The current layout is inefficient with a lot of unusable space lost to slopes on all sides.  With proper re-grading and the use of retaining walls you could probably add another 20% of usable space to accommodate all users.[/quote]

Perhaps, but only if you have 15' to 20' concrete retaining walls along Idaho Ave. and 37th Sts, which doesn't sound very green, particularly if all of the mature tree canopy is taken down.[/quote]
