Petition Background (Preamble):
The Marines have set forth a proposal to take the Virginia Avenue Park as a site for new barracks in lieu of other undeveloped area properties around Capitol Hill in SE Washington, DC.
Many who frequent Virginia Avenue Park in Washington, DC, including voting citizens and tax-paying property owners, have organized to save the Park. As invested constituents, members of Virginia Avenue Community Garden (VACG) and its neighbors strongly prefer the Park not be destroyed and the Community Garden within it not be relocated.
