[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where are the projected 2000 additional students in ward 3 by 2027 supposed to go to school? On the roofs of the facilities that are all already over utilized today according to this report? Capacity is just over 6,600, current enrollment is already over 6,900, projected enrollment of over 8,700 in 2027....[/quote]

Presumably the 2022-23 boundary review would redraw lines and address that. A lot of people will be attending school east and south of where the current feeder patterns are drawn. [/quote]

But how would they do that and maintain walkable elementary schools? You’d just be moving elementary school kids to other already over ultilized elementary schools. I mean, I live in Eaton’s boundary. The only nearby walkable school that isn’t currently over capacity is Hearst, but I suspect it will be in short order as well. Otherwise, we are sort of near Murch and Oyster, but not walkable with little kids 2x a day. [/quote]

I see a lot of mentions of how people are within X distance of a school OR public transit. I could be reading too much into it, but walkable schools for all may not be possible.[/quote]
