[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I actually would like to see the pace of ALL the development in the area slow. Homeless shelter, Wegmans complex, pool, Sidwell expansion. It's a LOT at once. Wisconsin Ave doesn't have to develop like Columbia Heights did, which has half the stores in the buildings they built sitting empty, and whose public spaces aren't properly maintained. Yes, do it right. Do it slowly is fine. And show that you can take care of what we have now. If streets, sidewalks and parks are not properly maintained now in Tenleytown/CP (I have never in the winter ONCE seen the city shovel the public sidewalks by their strips of parks) why would a pool get maintenance. Just cool it.[/quote]

Perfect is the enemy of good.

Luckily for people with common sense or with those who know a bit more what is going on in both the neighborhood and the city your post is full of non-sense.

Wisconsin Avenue has had just about the least change of any part of the city and it shows as many businesses are losing ground to more vibrant and progressive parts of the city.  Hopefully the Fannie Mae and 4000 Wisconsin re-developments will catalyze those areas similarly to how the Cathedral Heights redevelopment has revitalized an area that similarly was a dead zone for decades.

And I have no idea what you are talking about in Columbia Heights which is booming right now nor do I know what public spaces you are referring too.

Regardless a new swimming pool is not development by any metric I'm aware of.

BTW the city has actually been doing a lot in Ward 3 when it comes to replacing sidewalks and planting new trees.

And the uncleared sidewalks you are referring to are adjacent to NPS land. [/quote]
