[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Too much of the Marshall district is near 66, 495, the Toll Road and utility lines and gets affected by projects like this: https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/trafficandcommuting/changing-trail-design-could-jeopardize-entire-i-66-widening-project/2017/09/03/76b5be86-8e5d-11e7-91d5-ab4e4bb76a3a_story.html?hpid=hp_local-news_i66project-552pm%3Ahomepage%2Fstory&utm_term=.a3af25a2cbf3[/quote] Absolutely zero of that project is affecting the school itself. Whether you prefer a bustling and busy environment or a calm suburban environment is a matter of personal opinion. One is not inherently "better" than the other. The aesthetics of the schools are also very different, with Robinson looking very 1970 and Marshall looking very current. [/quote] It affects the school when the neighborhoods that feed into it back up to expanded highways and/or public access paths. Oh, and Robinson got a major renovation in the mid-1990s. It's always been a beautiful school. Marshall looks better than it did before the renovation, but the renovation is very generic. Looks just like Edison now. [/quote] Funny you mentioned that. Did you know that pre-renovation, Marshall and Edison had the exact same floor plan? It's not really surprising that they look similar now, but they actually look less alike than they did before.
