[quote=Anonymous]Putting a 600-seat elementary school in the middle of a business district didn't seem like the best idea to me - the traffic and parking impact on the 20 or so businesses in Westover would have been severe. The roads surrounding the parcel are small and widening them to accomodate extra traffic and bus parking would have added significantly to the cost of the project. Also, it would displace several existing programs at Reed (pre-school for ACPS employees' children, teen parenting program, Head Start program) and would require re-building a campus that was extensively rebuilt 2 years ago. There are other schools with enough open space to expand, and the parents in those neighborhoods may actually prefer getting a new school closer to home. [/quote]
