[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Make an offer to Sidwell as they add and renovate their grounds -- city will build all year pool at Sidwell  provided there is open access all summer.  Unlucky private partnership.[/quote]

What problem does this solve?  There is room at Hearst for a pool and the real opposition from the neighbors is about increased activity in their otherwise quiet corner of Cleveland Park which a pool at Sidwell would not resolve.

And there is an "all year" pool available already in the neighborhood - what Ward 3 is lacking is an outdoor pool.[/quote]

This really does seem like a first world problem.   Upper NW already has the Wilson pool that is available 365 days a year.  There are numerous private swim clubs and apartment pools throughout ward 3, and two nearby public outdoor pools in Burleith and Georgetown.  Sure, pools are like motherhood and apple pie, but on my list of area priorities for D.C. to fund, this isn't exactly top of the list.[/quote]
