Re: [BloomingdaleActionList] Thursday's hearing on McMillan

Not positive I will testify, but will try -  I want to go thru my archives and find some historical stuff to throw in, 

Since you only have three minutes - don't know how strict they are -  if anyone testifying can share in advance so that it is not too repetitive... Maybe someone could focus more on the cells, someone else the openness, the views, Olmstead, etc..

Should we try to emphasize some of the problems their report picked up on. I read it that they want to go ahead, but had a few issues.

Anyone planning to testify at tomorrow's HPRB hearing is welcome to pass along his or her written testimony (either before or after the hearing) and I can post the testimonies around on the blog and on the lists.

Thanks to everyone who plans to testify.

Thanks for the reminder, Betsy.  I plan to attend and speak in support of greater protection for the McMillan site (which I would like to see serve as our neighborhood's public gathering spots, like Dupont and Logan Circles) and a limit on development of about 50% among other things.  I fear the current plan turns the historic structures into ornamentation for housing and commercial development rather than using the development to preserve and showcase the historic sand filtration plant/site itself.
 
The last I heard, McMillan wouldn't come up at the meeting until around 4, but that it's a good idea to arrive by 3:15 to hear the whole discussion.  I also heard that folks unable to attend can send their thoughts to Steve Callcott at Steve.Callcott@dc.gov.
