Re: [BloomingdaleActionList] Thursday's hearing on McMillan

Wow.  Thanks Hugh.  A very well-written piece that sets a high bar.  I'm glad she's emailing it to Steve Callcott, too.
 
I'll share with you my testimony once I've written it!

Patrick,

I heard that we should plan to be there by 3pm tomorrow to testify on McMillan.

Please find attached a nice piece of testimony from a Friend of McMillan Park who lives in Brookland.

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.
