[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In this week's Northwest Current is a report on legislation moving through Congress which could facilitate a Ward 3 pool on National Park Service land at Fort Reno, which would be larger than what needs to fit at Hearst Park.

This could be a definite win-win.

Sure. That'll happen.[/quote]

It seems that even Mary Cheh now prefers Fort Reno over Hearst, assuming that it can be made t work with the Park Service. [/quote]

I don't know what you base that statement on - I've attended all but one of the public meetings and the DPR oversight hearing last spring and never heard Cheh utter or imply this.

In any case I'd prefer a pool at Fort Reno as it is a better location.

But Hearst is a perfectly good location.

And most of all I'd prefer a pool get built while my kids are actually children.  When I first signed a petition in favor of a pool my oldest was a toddler.  Now in a best case scenario he will be a teenager when the pool opens.

There is nothing inherently wrong with or difficult about the Hearst location that justifies how long this has taken nor is there anything about the Fort Reno location that is so superior that it is worth any additional delays.

Build the damn pool now - Ward 3 deserves what every other Ward has.[/quote]
