[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can't DC find a location for a public pool that is more transit accessible? Hearst is about a mile walk from the closest Metro station.[/quote] Why? The other neighborhoods across DC have their own outdoor pools. Why would someone need to take a metro to Tenleytown to use an outdoor pool when the likely have one within a mile of where they live. This isn't a city wide destination faciilty, this is a neighborhood serving facility.[/quote] First, the pool is intended to be primarily a ward 3 facility, not a neighborhood pool. It is secondarily designed to serve all of the residents of the District of Columbia. If the pool is built and once it is open, it will be perceived as both new and "safe", which likely means that DC residents from outside the ward will want to use it, too. That's why transit use is important. Moreover, because there will be no off-street parking, DC will want to encourage transit use.[/quote]
