[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The amount of time Cleveland Park has been under construction is mind boggling.   [/quote]

When NIMBYs delay projects, that is what happens. so much of everything could have been completed years ago.[/quote]

“The Promenade” is a total joke, a heat island that cost millions of dollars of taxpayer money with barely any trees, plants or seating.  The ANC rep that the hope is that bars and businesses will provide seats and water flowers.[/quote]

Yeah.. all that white concrete creates so much more heat than the black asphalt there used to... oh wait..[/quote]

Somehow it does seem to.  It is hotter than it was.  Probably because it's nothing but an open expanse of concrete.  FFS at least put some lampposts or planters on it.  It's useless wasted space at the moment.  What is it supposed to accomplish?  It has no raison d'etre.[/quote]

"Somehow it does seem to" - um. A black surface (which is what the asphalt was) will retain energy more and therefore be significantly hotter than a white/gray surface.  It is hotter because it is simply hotter outside.  Oh and also previously if you were on the sidewalk, you were crammed into a tiny 4ft wide space that was right by the buildings and awnings and now you have a like 30ft sidewalk you can use at your leisure - or just walk close to the buildings for the awning/shadows.

People will apparently bi**h about anything. Jesus.[/quote]
