[quote=Anonymous][quote]Honestly, street parking would be a super-easy thing for DCPS to fix for its teachers. All teachers in DCPS & DCPS charter can apply to get a special Teacher Parking Pass (like the Visitor Passes you can get for your nanny or contractor). The pass enables them to park from 7 to 7 on residential streets, regardless of what RPP (Residential Parking Permit) area they happen to be in. I also work in development and building underground parking for a school in that low density of a neighborhood is a [/b]grossly negligent[b] misuse of funds.[/quote]

Wait. Are you saying they don't have this???? This is insane. I am really, really trying here not to be like, "in New York we walk 20 miles through the snow with half your funding and we like it," but... deep breaths. In a city with crap transit, where most of its teaching population is commuting in from its exurbs.... and it has tons of residential low density neighborhoods with street parking... look. Look at silver spring. Do you see how many empty parking garages that town has? And, to give them some credit, they also manage to bus their children to school--I'm just saying.

DC parents are insanely dedicated, those that can afford it, or have the time for it--sending their kids across district lines, across zones, miles from where they are zoned to go to school. And DC can't even accomodate the teachers with parking passes? Are you kidding me? [/quote]
