[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And if course, anyone familiar with the environmental issues will know that the stormwater retention and run off at Hearst is a critical issue for Hazen tributary, and that needs to be dealt with.[/quote]

Exactly.  And the best way to deal with that is to pave two acres of the park with an impermeable surface.   Like destroying the village in order to save it.   Right.[/quote]

This land has already been paved over.  80 years ago.  This ain't the redwood forests.  Now is a chance to correct the mistakes of the past and build new recreational opportunities for the future. [/quote]

The only paving is on the tennis courts, the Hearst school basketball and a walkway.  That's not like two acres of concrete.  Don't destroy Hearst's green space  Casey Trees, in its annual report, singles out the importance of conserving the tree canopy and green space in DC parks as a top civic priority.  It may not be the Redwood forest, but 100+ year-old oaks are pretty significant here.

The proposal to put the pool at UDC is a good one.[/quote]
