[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It was clear that DCPS makes the final decision.  DGS ran through the four options with the DCPS person also contributing.

DGS supported UDC (as do my husband and I)  They are clearly running as close to the deadline as possible with the announcement coming on January 12 for the location.  If they choose a location and it falls through for some reason (Dept. of State says no to UDC because of proximity to Embassies or Lafayette runs into the fall) there are no contingency plans.

Some of the site option visits didn't happen until after Thanksgiving.  The Lafayette traffic study started yesterday so at least they will have 2 days of school being in session.  They have not started the Murch traffic study for swinging on site.

Swinging on site seems really, really bad.  It looked like a matter of feet between the trailers and active construction zone.

MCN is the builder, they have done a lot of other DCPS renovations.

There will be a survey on the Murch website where you can voice an opinion.

Mary Cheh came to the whole meeting and said she prefers UDC or Chesapeke/Church option.  I intend to call her office today and ask her if she will weigh in with DCPS on this preference.

And last, but not least, DGS reads DCUM at least they have read the other thread on this subject.  [/quote]

Wow. Ok, what can we all do to make this work. If it's a matter of cost, surely we can pressure DCPS to cough up the $$. (#$178millionDukeElliington) Are any Murch community members trying to organize to force DCPS' hand on this? How can we all help?[/quote]
