[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cutting a street off may be obnoxious to neighbors but I don’t see why it’s elitist. If I ran a school and I could limit traffic nearby - i’d Certainly give it a shot.[/quote]

The very definition of #clueless #elitist.

Or just concerned about pedestrians safety and the lives of little kids. [/quote]

The plan would not have closed the street.  It would have eliminated an easy “off ramp” from Wisconsin Ave.  Currently the street serves as a cut-through bypass for Wisconsin traffic heading to Nebraska and vice-versa.  A reconfigured intersection with Wisconsin would reduce the through traffic on the street, which south of GDS is residential.  This is why many community residents, including those who were not completely thrilled with the school’s building plans, supported their street proposal.  It would have been a win-win:  keeping students safer, not just at GDScbut also at Janney (and seniors at Iona) and making the neighborhood safer for walkers.  Perhaps some cut-thru drivers looking for a quick short cut through a residential neighborhood wouldn’t like it, but the major arterial is where through traffic is supposed to be, not on the side streets.
