[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looking at Google maps, Tuckahoe, Overlee and Chesterbrook all have parking lots larger than orange Hunt that could be used for team areas.  They also all have plenty of side streets which are what is generally used for parking?  Looks to me like those red x’s are green check’s.[/quote]

Orange Hunt has a lot of adjacent green space.  You all are so desperate to punish these D1 teams that you want your kids to stand on asphalt and park god knows how far away and then walk through busy streets through traffic to get to the pool.  Come up with better incentives and appropriate support for host pools that have the right setup and put measures in place to curb the bad behavior of some of the D1 spectator parents.  The answer is not to cram the meets into their pools and make everything unpleasant and unsafe.[/quote]

This is BS.  I grew up not far from Overlee and swam there as a kid.  Traffic is no worse and population no denser than Rutherford and Orange Hunt.  And for all those complaining about the parking lot option - it was the set up at Orange Hunt - and yes it was BOILING.  No pool is perfect but they make it work.  [/quote]

Traffic is no different at a pool that is on a major 4-lane road inside the beltway that serves as one of the main non-toll road options in and out of DC and is a major commuter route?  Absurd statement.

Also, things have changed a lot in this whole area in terms of density and traffic patterns since we were all kids.  So you growing up near Overlee isn't all that relevant.[/quote]
