[quote=Anonymous]Thank you to 00:41 give who beat me to it. I hope you might be willing to share that information with the Current as a rebuttal to the letter in question.

I would only add per the above discussion that there was an informal request by neighbors of Turtle Park to include a pool and it was successfully fought by the baseball community, but I agree with the PPs on both sides of the pool question that soccer obviously has more demand on space in the District than baseball. It really is a wonder how or why DPR kowtows to this faction so easily.

At this juncture, virtually every park west of Rock Creek and north of Georgetown has been renovated except for Hearst. Hearst is the only place where a pool can be logically and centrally located and it is the proposal on the table.

The Councilmember (who is running unopposed for re-election) has sponsored it because her constituents have asked for it and DPR is agreeing and doing its diligence now.

I challenge any of the opponents of the pool to run against Cheh and make this a central campaign issue if you feel that strongly about it.
