See this message from Brookland resident Daniel Wolkoff:
The hearing to raze-demolition of parts of McMillan concurs with the approval of the National Registry of Historic Places,,,which protects the site and it's context. HPRB is responsible for preservation as its mission and responsibility is stated in, the District of Columbia Historic Preservation Act. It is obvious that many DC residents would support the preservation , and restoration of the 25 acre Olmstead Park at McMillan Sand Filtration Plant had there ever been this option presented by the government to the community and given any exposure by the "brain dead" DC media. No vote of any kind has ever been taken by the people of the district , not even a proper evaluation of the park and re-incorporating the reservoir and park , "A Great Place" worthy, healthy, great for DC. My testimony below hopefully opens up a discussion, not a fait-accompli of massive over-development plopped onto the historioc site. This on top of the flooded houses of Bloomingdale, turns McMillan into a sewer with shops and condos and literally re-shapes our whole city destructive of the l'enfant-Senator McMillan plan for a gracious park ringed city.
