[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The folks that run upper NW have become fairly anti-car. So if you choose to drive just be prepared for a lot of side eye looks from moms on cargo bikes during drop offs  [/quote]

What a bizarre response! As a Hearst family that drops off via car, I've not seen more than 1 cargo bike family. There are a lot of walkers but it's just not true that car drop offs are looked down upon.

To OP, Hearst is a great school. It will have a new principal next year which is probably a positive. I don't know if there's any advantage to Hearst over Shepherd, especially if you are giving up a neighborhood school with all the convenience that brings. I would also imagine a high schooler would have a different schedule and so drop offs and pickups may not align anyway (eg kids have before and after school activities in high school). [/quote]

The Hearst neighborhood have elected ANCs that are pushing the Connecticut Avenue bike lane project that will add 3000+ cars a day to the adjacent side streets making east-west driving in the morning challenging for friends commuting from across the park. EOTP residents like OP, who were not consulted about this project, need to educate themselves so they understand the daily logistical challenges this will present and map out transit solutions instead of driving.

There's a (no joke) 289 page thread you can complain about this on.

Fwiw, Hearst is losing about 1/3 of its staff and probably both admin[/quote]
