[quote=Anonymous]The whole process has been such a farce. Like the walk zone review where they made it seem like they were trying to expand walk zones and find the most walkable schools, so they encouraged everyone to identify walkable planning units both outside and in the current walk zones that could be walkable with certain safety improvements. That wasn't really to expand the walk zones, and the fact that the SB doesn't have the authority to make most of those listed improvements should have been a big red flag that something fishy was going on. So people went in and marked up planning units as needing all kinds of additional safety measures, which only flagged for the staff that certain planning units, while technically in the walk zone, aren't really walked all that much. That means those planning units are ripe to be zoned and bused elsewhere if it helps the boundary process, and when parents protest being taken away from their supposedly walkable neighborhood school, the staff can point out that they've already acknowledged they don't walk because of safety issues APS can't do anything to remedy, so it's better for traffic to put those kids on a bus than have them all riding in cars.[/quote]
