Dear Dave,

Thank you for your letter of June 18 outlining proposals to rename and provide other enhancements to the Cabin John Storm Water Management (SWM) facility. I am pleased to report that the departments of Public Works and Recreation and Parks, and more importantly the Mayor and Council fully support these proposals.

The following are responses to the specific action items:

• Official City records will be changed to reflect the new name - Stoneridge Pond. Maps and other documents will be changed as they are re-printed.
• Signs will be installed at the Wootton Pkwy. and Cabin John Pkwy. entrances to the pathway. These will be redwood signs typical of the signs used to identify City parks.
• Susan Straus, Chief Engineer/Environment (301-309-3218) and Pam Rowe, Environmental Specialist (201-309-6520) will generate some proposed interpretive signage for the site, and will contact you for your review.
• Nature Center Supervisor Valerie Oliver, along with Pam Rowe, has been tasked to come up with some recommendations for nesting boxes, bat houses, etc. Ms. Oliver will contact you with some ideas.

We are enthused that the Hungerford neighborhood has come up with these proposals. We agree that this does represent a measure of success for the design and implementation of the facility.

Please give me a call if you have any questions, concerns or additional suggestions.

Sincerely,
Burt Hall
Director of Recreation and Parks
