[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It will be a public pool which means any DC resident could use it. But why would anyone travel across town to go to a pool when there is likely a pool in close proximity to where they live? Even DPR said that most users tend to live within 2 miles of a pool. [b]As such, this would be serving the areas like Cleveland Park, Cathedral Heights, Wakefield (aka North Cleveland Park) and fringes of AU Park and Chevy Chase.

Most people, especially kids, will walk or bike from those areas, not drive, not take the metro, not take the bus.

If this is mostly just a pool for Cleveland Park, Cathedral Heights, North CP (which already have access to a variety of private summer pools), what pool will serve the AU Park and Chevy Chase DC neighborhoods??  And what about the Palisades? They are all teeming with kids, and a pool that serves their "fringes" is inadequate.   Shouldn't DC consider locations that would more conveniently serve these younger family neighborhoods?[/quote]
