[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The rest of us don't care. There are a handful of parks and Hearst is the one getting the upgrade. We want a pool and don't care exactly where it goes as long as it is closer than Frances and Jelleff.

It is a NIMBY tactic to ask for more studies and seek more delay before a project is realized. That playbook won't work here. Sorry.

This isn't asking for MORE studies. This is us asking for the feasibility study that showed Hearst is the best location. There isn't one. DC projects are supposed to have one. It's how the process works. That is the playbook. [b]We do not want a pool at Hears[/b]t at the expense of the other features there. And b/c there is no study showing Hearst as the best location, there also are no blueprints showing us how the amenities are going to be kept. There's no plan on the city showing us how existing amenities plus a pool would be maintained. Where's the oversight?[/quote]

You don't get to decide. DPR has released a report that you probably shared that said that West of Rock Creek Park needs two outdoor pools. Hearst is undergoing a major renovation. It is a good candidate where no others currently exist. If YOU don't like the idea of a pool at Hearst then tough cookies for you. It isn't your decision to make. Deal with it.[/quote]

Who said no other candidates exist? Certainly not DPR or DGS. Apparently only Mary Cheh gets to make a decision in this Ward. My decision will be not to vote for her, to let her know why and to argue against this secret "plan."[/quote]
