[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the neighbors calling other neighbors names, does it not concern you that the River School has no plan for how they are going to properly manage their families, staff and visitors coming onto to their proposed campus every day? What about after school events? Sports? Special Events? Fundraisers? They have a preliminary traffic plan. So build your monster school and then worry about the cars, congestion and traffic problems afterwards? In what world does that make sense.[/quote]

Sports?   How many sporting events will they be having for the age that the are targeting?    It is no different from NPS.
I assume that families will park on Nebraska or around the green space that is used for rugby / soccer.

If the entrance to the campus is on Nebraska - and the school tells parents to be nice neighbors and only use that entrance, I would think there will be very limited additional traffic flowing down 42nd.

Now - I am all for slowing down traffic on 42nd.  The GDS cut through including school buses who do not slow for others in the circle should stop - regardless of the River Campus.  [/quote]

Where are the children going to play sports? Especially if River School wants to expand by adding grades 4, 5 and 6 where is the athletic field/turf space going to be? Playground equipment? Blacktop for outdoor games or school events? Where are the parents going to park for fundraisers, school nights or events, festivities?

People are saying the streets don't belong to other neighbors (so absurd) but that green space in front of the estate (that the school is making it look like belongs to them in their renderings) is not for their personal use and does not belong to them. They do not have all this green space they claim or dream to have. It is not the same as Field School like some other poster mentioned. [/quote]

The parking along Nebraska in the evening is mostly unused.  And at that time there are no limits to RPPs, etc., anyway - so really don't see how events are an issue.

As for sports, what does that have to do with traffic?  If River School wants to offer sports it better figure out a plan.  Or it can be a school that doesn't offer much in the way of sports.  Look at NPS - it has one small field that's adequate for little kids to run around on, but you can't possibly play a real game of soccer for anyone over 1st or 2d grade.  They go elsewhere for sports for the older kids.  Regardless - the lack of sports facilities is a marketing issue, not a neighbor parking issue.[/quote]

You are right the spots along Nebraska tend to not be all used, but there are not nearly enough to hold all the River Schools parents. When those are used up, which are also surrounding houses and neighbors, where will the rest of the cars go? It is scary how mindless River School and their parents are about the well being of those that live in the Tenley community. [/quote]
