[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s 2.6 miles. That seems pretty close to me.[/quote]

It's about 5 miles from Blair to the southernmost part of TP.[/quote]

From the Takoma Metro, it's about 3.9 miles to Blair. [b]The next closest HS is BCC, [/b]which is about 5 miles.[/quote]
No, the next closest HS is Northwood.[/quote]

That's [b]incorrect[/b]. According to Google Maps, [b]BCC is 5.3 miles from the Takoma Metro, whereas Northwood is 5.4[/b].[/quote]

DP. According to Google Maps:
4.6 miles walking route between Takoma Metro and Northwood
4.7 miles walking route between Takoma Metro and B-CC

Not sure why you post false information about something that is easily disprovable but according to the REAL Google Maps:

[b]4.9 miles from Takoma Metro to BCC[/b]

That 0.3-mile difference equates to about 25% faster travel time too![/quote]

Neither of which will matter when the driver of rejiggering the boundaries with the combined Woodward/Northwood capacities is the much greater capacity utilization in the DCC versus BCC/Whitman/WJ/Woodward.

Shifting the boundaries is a given, with cascading effect westward.  They could even over-shift in comparison to current projections to account for a larger pipeline of development in one area versus another, if that is the case.

The question is more which specific areas will shift.  I'd think it more likely that Woodlin or ESS would shift to BCC than would close-in TKPK.  More likely Woodlin because ESS without Woodlin would create an island (or close to it).  I could see the TPES/PBES pair articulating to Northwood to relieve Blair, though that would mean split articulation for TPMS.  I seriously doubt they would shift the magnets.[/quote]
