Suppose to feel bad because the really wonderful private school is having a hard time keeping up with the Joneses??? It wants to push its way it to a residential neighborhood (its first attempt since its other three attempts at commercial sites didn't work out), so lets just totally disrupt people's way of living and AGING IN PLACE so they can keep up and release the "pressure". Just kill me now why don't you.

geez, that’s a bit hysterical. you don’t own the streets - nobody does. anti-school nimbyism based on parking is just another level. as the mom of a SN kid who couldn’t consider River due to its location, I think it’s great it is trying to find a more centrally accessible location to expand to.

What is hysterical is you throwing around NIMBYism and acting like parking and local safety are not a concern. They are a MAJOR concern for those of us that have lived here for over 25+ years and have raised our own kids and now grandkids on these streets. Not having adequate parking for the hundreds of cars that will be coming into the area and adding to the congestion due to the River School's lack of planning and communication is a problem. How you handle your families needs is on you. Are you suddenly going to take the metro or bus with your kid now that the school is considering this centrally accessible location and it wants to expand? This is a residential lot they are trying to get special exception for; this is a private school that is coming from Ward 3 moving to Ward 3. Do not fool yourself.
Where did you end up sending your kid that was better located and did you use public transportation?

DP...you are hysterical. None of these nightmare scenarios ever come to fruition. They said the same thing when GDS opened its high school, when NCRC expanded, when Sidwell did its renovation, etc. We live in a city, the streets do not belong only to you.

These are not the same. Those schools expanded their footprint from an existing space that was already a school or commercial use. This is a lot that used to be a residence and they want to turn it into a several hundred person school.
Assessing the impact on parking and traffic are of course appropriate given the request to change its zoning designation.

Has Sidwell already moved its LS?

Wanting safer streets for all those in the neighborhood and for those that walk, bike and travel on them daily means I am claiming ownership over them? Wanting safer streets is NEVER wrong. Maybe you should want them too, if not for yourself or your own family then for others. Maybe you should try and explain why safer streets are not needed to the poor young man's family who just got tragically struck and killed on Mass Ave. while riding his bike TO DINNER. Safer intersections and roadways are a must. There is no plan for the cars and congestion associated with this school moving here.

The River School states that cannot provide adequate parking on that BZA file paper[u]. "The Campus cannot provide all required parking spaces due to physical limitations, heritage tress, and the historic building, but the campus has limited parking needs and is well served by mass transit". If they cannot provide adequate parking then why are they considering this location?? I know I am old but what am I missing here? Aren't all the buildings historic and why are they just saying one historic building?

Does the River School really state that? With all those limitations why would they want to move to that location? Seems like a not so good fit.

Sidwell and Field used to be downtown.
GDS used to be in Palisades.
NCRC was a residential house before it became a school.

So in your world, this is a mess because there will be more traffic, but more traffic means slower streets, which is actually safer. So which is it?

And if the streets aren't safe, that is a design issue, and I fully agree, DDOT should make them safer.

You are joking? What is your point?

Field use to be downtown and moved when it had about the same number of students that the River School has in staff. It moved to a campus that is about 10 or 11 acres (Nebraska Ave is around 2 acres) and will have LESS students than River School. Remember River School wants to expand around 350.

GDS use to be in Palisades that is true. That lot is over 3 acres and moved to a commercial lot to incorporate their high school students. They did this right no one is stating otherwise. Their traffic management is just horrific.

NCRC has no where near the student numbers as River School. Just because it is a house and a preschool doesn't bring it into the conversation. Try again.

Dust off your keyboard and get back on Google.

Sports? How many sporting events will they be having for the age that the are targeting? It is no different from NPS.
I assume that families will park on Nebraska or around the green space that is used for rugby / soccer.


If the entrance to the campus is on Nebraska - and the school tells parents to be nice neighbors and only use that entrance, I would think there will be very limited additional traffic flowing down 42nd.

Now - I am all for slowing down traffic on 42nd. The GDS cut through including school buses who do not slow for others in the circle should stop - regardless of the River Campus.

You are the only one that wants to argue. Others want to actually help folks in the community and care about their well being and quality of life.

Where are the children going to play sports? Especially if River School wants to expand by adding grades 4, 5 and 6 where is the athletic field/turf space going to be? Playground equipment? Blacktop for outdoor games or school events? Where are the parents going to park for fundraisers, school nights or events, festivities?

People are saying the streets don't belong to other neighbors (so absurd) but that green space in front of the estate (that the school is making it look like belongs to them in their renderings) is not for their personal use and does not belong to them. They do not have all this green space they claim or dream to have. It is not the same as Field School like some other poster mentioned.

Most of the cars are pickup/dropoff, not parking. Parking is just for admin/faculty, and maybe a small number of visitors (e.g., interviews)

The parking along Nebraska in the evening is mostly unused. And at that time there are no limits to RPPs, etc., anyway - so really don't see how events are an issue.

As for sports, what does that have to do with traffic? If River School wants to offer sports it better figure out a plan. Or it can be a school that doesn't offer much in the way of sports. Look at NPS - it has one small field that's adequate for little kids to run around on, but you can't possibly play a real game of soccer for anyone over 1st or 2d grade. They go elsewhere for sports for the older kids. Regardless - the lack of sports facilities is a marketing issue, not a neighbor parking issue.

It is a residential house in a residential neighborhood. It is a direct correlation to the conversation.

That driveway cannot handle the queuing onsite to handle "most" of the cars. If you actually read the minimal information that someone posted early on with the BZA paper, in the Operations Management Plan it says that 14 vehicles can load and unload students at a time. Where are the hundreds of other cars going to go while they are waiting, since according to you they aren't parking? And we all know there is not enough space for them to park because there will only be 42 spots and those spots are taken up by the 90 faculty. Where will the rest of the faculty park because there won't be enough for them? And the visitors? What about the patients to the health clinic? And the interviews? Guests? Other staff? Functions? Back to school night? Auction? Classroom events? Parties?

14 vehicles can fit at one time. There is not enough space for the vehicles to load and unload. There is not enough space for the cars to park. There is not enough space AT ALL for the River School at this lot. It is an amazing school just do not fit at this location.
