[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How can a pool and deck surround that are smaller than a tennis court be worth building?  This seems like a waste.  If the pool were put in a more accessible area rather than being crammed against the hillsides, it wouldn't be necessary to spend $1 million for an outdoor elevator to go down the hillside.  One can imagine that the elevator after a couple of years will be less clean than the condition of Metro elevators.[/quote]

I use a Metro elevator every day and have never noticed any issues with cleanliness so not sure if you are an actual user though reliability is another story.

The other stuff is simply not true - not sure if you are knowingly repeating the lies of the anti pool neighbors or simply repeating them because you don't know better but DPR is proposing a standard size DC swimming pool.

And again nothing is "crammed" against a hillside. People have been playing tennis in the same location for years though perhaps the reason hardly anyone uses these courts is because they are "crammed" against the hillside.

Also the entirety of the park is located downhill from the street so I'm not sure they have an alternative to putting in some means of getting mobility impaired folks up and down - in fact thinking out loud this location is about the highest point inside of the park and also adjacent to the street so this location probably requires the least expense to locate an ADA compliant pool here.  You'd need an elaborate ramp system or multiple elevators to locate it elsewhere.[/quote]
Not the PP but metro elevators smell like pee and have grime covered windows. Are you sure you ride them frequently?

DPR has allowed an abandoned cart full of old stuff to sit for month in the spot where DC says it will build an elevator.  If this is any indication of how DC will clean and maintain it, then yes, the elevator will be smelly and filthy.[/quote]
