[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not true. Most of the surrounding community supports redevelopment. The tennis courts are a mess and the bathrooms and picnic areas are falling apart.

What concerns some of us is the process- a short time to review proposals, the lack of competitive bids AND that the primary focus of the development is to support a one week tennis tournament instead of creating a space that could be enjoyed by residents throughout the year.  Field space, nice picnic areas, pickleball courts, a really nice playground area  and preserving the heritage trees. and revitalizing the amphitheater. All could be options.

Nothing good comes from a land give away to a developer that has not been forced to compete with other developers or one that does not have to get community input.  Sacrificing a 40 acres of public land for a private tennis tournament doesn't make a lot of sense.

If you agree with this position, sign the petition. It will help get attention from our lawmakers and allow DC residents the chance to share their vision for this space.

“Heritage Tree” is a tell.  You’re not serious about redevelopment.  “Heritage Trees” made the Hearst Pool largely unusable.  Not making this mistake again. [/quote]
