Spoken like a true member of the board or central office staff!  I'm sure everyone in MC will welcome traffic-backups at the left-hand-turn from 370 into Downtown Crown.  As we are all aware, MC residents are super understanding of unilateral board and sup decisions that affect parent livelihood.  I'm sure the police will also appreciate babysitting all the traffic mess.

Just a suggestion - if MCPS is in a pissing contest, maybe they should post the issue for public written comments?  (Not just a not-well-advertised public hearing, but an actual site permitting comments for more than 30-days and well-advertised by MCPS?)[/quote]

Which issue, specifically, do you think MCPS should post for public written comments? Whether MCPS should build the high school at Crown at the site designated for building the high school?

[b]Most people in Montgomery County are not going to care in the least about traffic back-ups at the left turn from westbound Sam Eig Highway onto Fields Road, just like most people in Montgomery County don't care in the least about traffic back-ups at every other high school in Montgomery County.[/b] Plus, who even would take 370 to Sam Eig to Fields Road to drive their child to the high school at Crown at arrival/dismissal times? [b]If you're worried about traffic back-ups, then you should push MCPS for policies that nudge parents to put their kids on the school bus or walk them/let them walk to school, instead of driving them.[/b][/quote]

Don't speak for me - I care.

Coming from the Metro, the right lane is normally backed up from traffic during rush.  If you're lucky, the two left lanes are clear, unless someone is pulling in or out of the stop-and-go-traffic on the right.  If MCPS starts blocking the middle lane headed straight West with 100 parents trying to pick up kids after work or extracurriculars, expect a lot more accidents.  It's a very dangerous place to have accidents since you've got a three-way split coming off the toll and Metro.

Whether a kid takes a bus or not is a parent's choice.  Don't act like it's your choice to make.[/quote]
