[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those of you who are bridging the Yorktown island, why?  I started off doing this, but realized I wasn't increasing diversity and I wasn't sure what I was accomplishing.[/quote]

From a purely geographic standpoint, it makes sense. The island itself would be totally against the rules in the current exercise. Otherwise we could solve the whole diversity question by making a new Yorktown island out of the planning units around Columbia Pike.[/quote]

The issue with bridging the island is that it take kids like my DS from being able to walk to W-L to a long bus ride to Yorktown.

I am unclear as to why the island is not on the table?  I understand it increases the scale of the impacted communities but it would make sense to send those kids to W/L.

It's not on the table because the whole goal is to take kids OUT of W-L.  Adding to W-L at the same time complicates it even more.

But, I do think walkable should be a priority (both for family convenience and minimizing county bus expenses) so when I did the boundary tool I turned on the walk zone for W-L and didn't touch any of those units north of W-L that are so close to it or the units in Ashton Heights/Lyon park since they also are mostly in the walk zone.[/quote]
