[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are tennis courts in Ward 3, there are fields in Ward 3, there is no pool in Ward 3.  The NIMBYs need to step off and accept that it's totally logical to replace either of these amenities with a pool in Ward 3.  Some people will fight anything![/quote]

Where are the other public tennis courts? Just out of curiosity? Or are you suggesting that if it's only possible to have 2 of the 3 things, one of the 2 should be a pool?

too bad Palisades was quick to object to a pool by getting an historic designation. You see so many tennis courts then move the pool there. remember, a pool is not just a physical pool. There's changing locations, there's mandatory fencing, there's equipment. A "pool" takes up more surface area than a lot of people choose to remember during debates. There's just not that space at Hearst. Take away the fields at Turtle Park if you're so desperate for a pool. Or, gasp! drive to Jelleff.[/quote]
