LOL, the County needs 10 years to get Carlin Springs Road ready for Kenmore to be turned into a high school.  And it sounds like APS and the County have taken zero steps toward this since this issue was discussed and debated in 2017 (52.30 minute mark).[/quote]

I think it's a clever bit of politics. The neighborhood leaned on the fact that the existing transportation infrastructure couldn't support a high school there back in 2017, when really what they wanted was just to veto the whole project so they could stay zoned to W-L. Now APS is trying to get the county to just offer them transportation improvements, no strings attached. What neighborhood would refuse that? Then, when the project is complete, the neighborhood won't have that argument to fall back on to stop the high school from being built. [/quote]

Fixing transportation to the Kenmore/Carlin Springs site requires cooperation from Fairfax both because of the access from 50 that the site needs to be really efficient and for improvements to flow on S. Carlin Springs, which becomes FFX County right before you get to Columbia Pike.

As long as the problems only inconvenience Arlington, Fairfax won't do anything. Start work on the school, though, and watch Fairfax take notice.[/quote]
