[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Top 5 School Buildings With Fewest Walkers: 
ATS- 43 
Carlin Springs- 67

ASFS- 118 
Tuckahoe- 135

McKinley still has 243 walkers, even with all the kids going to Reed. This decision isn't being made based on walkability. [/quote]

McKinley's current walkers are in the planning units south of 66 that will probably be moved to Ashlawn.  The 40% walkability in the Options are those walkable in planning units north of 66. [/quote]

Some of them will also be walkers to Ashlawn, so they won't even become bus riders.[/quote]

No, Wilson is classified as a street that only middle and high school students can cross. [/quote]

They can change that with a crossing guard.  I spoke with transportation about it at a previous meeting.[/quote]

People bring up crossing guard idea all the time in every proposal but I can't remember the last time it actually was implemented.[/quote]

My Ashlawn walker crosses Wilson with a crossing guard. We are the last block before the current McKinley boundary. What am I missing? 
Did the poster mean kids can’t cross 66? Because they definitely can at Ohio Street or Patrick Henry.

Did they mean kids can’t cross Washington? Swanson already has a crossing guard at Washington and PH - they could work Jr high and then Elementary. Or put another crossing guard at McKinley and Washington.[/quote]

Technically you can't cross Wilson at Elem level so you get a bus.  There is one tiny street on the other side of the park that goes to Ashlawn (Lexington).  No crossing guard there so they get a bus.  Yes for the less than 1/2 mile.  [/quote]
