[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in RCH and don't oppose the middle school--it will be traffic, the loss of the park is sad but there are other parks in walking distance, and it would be nice for my child to walk to school vs. being bused everywhere.  But I have to say that NCC park is not in the middle of traffic hell.  I drive on Jones Bridge twice every morning and often in the afternoons as well.  I rarely have any delay at all.  In the afternoons it stacks up to turn left on Connecticut but no worse than it did before BRAC.  Where is this traffic hell of which you speak?[/quote]

I commute by heading from E/W Hwy to Connecticut Ave every morning to get on 495.  It is a traffic hell for sure.  You must not drive it during rush hour.[/quote]

The intersection of E/W and Connecticut is bad if you're heading west, that's true.  Connecticut often stacks up southbound between Saul and Jones Bridge too.  But the roads that directly border NCC park are definitely not traffic hell.  I drive it twice in morning rush (7:30 and 8:15) and also during the after-school, government worker dismissal time of about 4-5.  I turn left on Connecticut from Jones Bridge and head north to the beltway in the morning and there's no traffic hell northbound on Connecticut either.[/quote]
