Re: Mayor Gray to "surplus" McMillan Park
Dear
Councilmembers, Mayoral aspirants, and Washington citizens,
I
support Daniel Wolkoff's vision 1,000 percent, and await our elected officials'
response to his question. I write from another nation's capital, resplendent
with monumental and intimate parks and vistas enjoyed by millions of citizens
and visitors daily. The government here
never ceases maintaining and improving these parks, which is evident to the
most casual observer. Washington, D.C.,
is often likened to this city, Paris, because a Frenchman, Pierre L'Enfant, had
a hand in the early planning of our city, with its boulevards and circles lined
by low buildings.
But
our leaders have only one vision, it seems, for the public property in the city
we have been so lucky to inherit, and that is selling it off, piece by piece,
at discount, as quickly as possible, so as to enlarge the electoral war chests
of current office-holders. Please correct me if I'm missing something in the
dismal development plans for the once-graceful expression of the City
Beautiful.
Please
stop destroying our city. Please remember it belongs to all of us.

What
kind of city do we live in? A whole section of DC discrimainated against by the
District Government with the fencing off of mcMillan Park for 27 years!
Conservation ignored, adaptive-reuse given lip-service,, and places remaining
to build community are privatized for service to the wealthy. Let us get real
and save McMillan Park and start the
process of Renewing The "Emerald Necklace" for the long overdue
parks, trails, woods, and waterworks for the city. Please read my testimony to
the HPRB to restore McMillanPark.

Seriously, this woman live in Chevy Chase. When is the last time she has even been east of rock creek park much less the McMillian site. Who does she know that told her to write this letter? Only thing worst if she lived in Chevy Chase MD. How would she appreciate me trying to push my opinions on something being done in her neighborhood. I assure you she would scream bloody murder if suddenly people east of the park started chiming in to things done in her very high end neighborhood
