Fort Hunt Park Public Comments

The National Park Service is in the process if revising their long-term use plan for Fort Hunt Park.

Their initial proposal was met with a health rebuke from our community.  I wrote about it here, accepted hundreds of community comments, the National Park Service heeded our comments and the process was further revised:

The Dixie Pig: New Fort Hunt Park Plans Up for Discussion! (June 15, 2012)The Dixie Pig: Recognize Fort Hunt's History and Keep Picnic Areas (Sept. 28, 2011)
The Dixie Pig: Comment on Proposed Changes to Fort Hunt Park (Sept. 30, 2011)

 

 

The National Park Service is now out with their final two proposed alternatives (three if you count "no action").  My public comments are below.

 

You can review the proposal and provide your public comments here through August 7:

 

National Park Service: Fort Hunt Park Site Development Plan Environmental Assessment

 

Needless to say, this is exactly how a public process should work and the National Park Service has done an excellent job thus far responding to community concerns.
