[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in the neighborhood and would really like to know what's coming.  Banneker Little League has been using the field and it's been great having kids around.  My one request is just a tiny bit of transparency from DCPS about their plans ...

If they do put in a 500-kid school there, traffic's going to be a mess.  So people want to know.[/quote]

Yes, that's hard to imagine.  Traffic is already really bad with commuters, which is a hazard to pedestrians and cyclists, apart from being difficult to drive.  But, I'd love to see the area fully utilized and come to life, even if there are some downsides.  I love having Wash Met and am sorry to see it go and am sorry attendance has notably dropped.[/quote]

If it's used as a swing space, they will bus the kids from their original school location.  So, traffic shouldn't be too bad.  Of course, some parents will drive their kids in (those who are already commuting from different parts of the city, parents with younger children, etc).[/quote]
