[quote=Anonymous]Considering that Mary Cheh's most recent proposal for school expansion was to take DPR land at Palisades to build a school, I don't see why taking some DPR land at Hardy is outlandish. When she proposed the Palisades site Cheh made much of the possibilities of synergy with a combined DCPS/DPR site. That's what was done with Stoddert and what's planned for Hearst. Don't the same synergies exist at Hardy? Clearly Hardy is a much better site. The site of just the school is over an acre, the rec center is another five acres. The building is the same design as the original parts of Key, Mann and Stoddert. All of those schools were successfully expanded and modernized. Clearly the argument that the school is unusable doesn't hold water. Is the site perfect? No. But what are the alternatives? Is there any better alternative anywhere nearby? No. Do we need more schools west of the park? Yes.[/quote]
