[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The extreme eastern location of RHLP would also make it poor option for including a walking student body. Drawing a walking radius  (1/2 mile?) around that site includes a large industrial area, as well as homes outside the cluster and even out of the state. A more centrally located site would offer more walkers, fewer buses.[/quote]

I'm not sure about the fewer buses part, but overall, I think this point is correct.

Face it, we can't keep filling up parks.  I keep seeing comments about Norwood, NCC, RCH, RHLP, and on and on.  Are you people nuts?  What are we supposed to do, get on 270 and drive to Germantown to play sports?

Forget the blame game, forget whose park should be sacrificed, forget all the mumbo jumbo about who owns what and traffic and walking distance and all the other "creative" arguments people who seem to have a lot of time on their hands have been throwing around.  If we want all this new development, especially down-county, esepcially in this cluster, then we're going to have to buy private land and build.  Yes, it will be expensive, but if we really believe this development is worth it and will bring a positive value for the county, then we should be willing to invest in the infrastructure to support it.

My 2 cents.[/quote]
