[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always wondered why there were no neighborhood meetings abiut how the school intends to do drop-off and pick up of kids in a K-12 school with no dedicated school lane. It’s not like people can drop on Connecticut Avenue and I can’t imagine Secret Service is going to be pleased if Van Ness is backed up in front of the embassies.  It’s well known that these negotiations take a long time to work out— look at GDS, Lowell and Cathedral Schools, where there are have been countless parent committees and meetings dedicated to addressing this.

Any car pool drop off would likely be off of Tilden, not Van Ness.

That said, I feel bad for the teachers who have said they were leaving for this school. It likely won't be open at this site by the fall. If DCRA past performance is any indication, it will take at least 4-5 months to get through permits.[/quote]

It doesn't matter what street it would be on. No existing school makes changes without tons of neighborhood meetings and red tape and traffic studies and hearings, etc., let alone a gigantic brand new school in a busy area with embassies and several other schools. It was fishy from the start.[/quote]

Yes to this x1000.

Did they ever present at and ANC meeting?

I did go to one early on neighborhood meeting that was held at UDC and they did say there was underground parking and that was were drop off would be.  I've not heard this repeated though so can't claim it's still the plan. [/quote][/quote]
