[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also live in the neighborhood and I am expecting traffic will be worse once MV moves in. Traffic on North Cap is hurrendous as it is so I wouldn't do that route if you are coming from north. First Street is also backed up during rush hour. Best bet is to metro! Too bad we did not get in at MV :(. Would have been nice to walk to school that's just a block away. [/quote]

Hi neighbor!  We did not apply to MV although it was tempting.  We're already at another DCI feeder and use P St. and N.Cap every morning to get there although depending on what time MV opens in the morning, it may not be an issue.  I just have to watch out for the Dunbar kids and the commuters trying to get on 395S.

Hi there! I assume you either go to YY or LAMB? Do you take North Cap going back to 395S? Or do you take the side streets? We did not get into anything in the common lottery but keeping fingers crossed that we'll magically luck out at YY or Stokes (wishful thinking I know but let me dream even for just a second :P).

Yes, YY but my neighbor across the street has a kid at LAMB so we commiserate.  There are a few kids who go to TR.  Traffic hell for all!  :lol:   I never take N Cap all the way back down mostly because it is always a mess trying to turn into 1st St NW toward 395S from P St. NW.  That intersection can be hellish during morning and afternoon rush.  The afternoons backups like today can be even worse than the mornings.

With all the additional traffic we have to put up with, I don't see why there is no neighborhood preference.  Oh well.

Crossing my fingers for you for YY and Stokes!
