[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not a Tuckahoe parent, but I think the Tuckahoe people here are trying to say that this APS heat map is wrong, and there are more than 78 kids in the five PUs that are in the current Tuckahoe walk zone that do not overlap with the current Nottingham walk zone? But I would love to have someone from Tuckahoe on here be more specific- what planning units have been undercounted? APS data has been wrong before (e.g., McKinley) but those parents were able to point to a very specific spreadsheet calculation error regarding K projections that was later corrected. So I am curious where the specific error is here? Is this something APS is working to correct and will a revised map be forthcoming?

Three of those five walk zones (16022, 16030, and 16031) are also walkable to Nottingham, so you can't look at those to calculate the number of current students who are walkable only to Tuckahoe. The only two planning units that are relevant for that calculation are 16020 and 16021. Given that most of 16021 is covered by Tuckahoe and Bishop O'Connell, I have a hard time imagining that there are more than a dozen or so current elementary school students living in that unit, and 65 or so seems very reasonable for 16020. That unit has around 215 homes/units, which works out to between 1 in 3 and 1 in 4 homes in the unit having a current elementary student. [/quote]
