[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Latest proposal I saw was basically preserving walk zones, and then just rotating bused PUs to balance enrollment. Seems likely they are ignoring alignment since it’s too difficult without more capacity in upper schools.[/quote]

Where did you see this?  How do they fill Williamsburg without dipping into some walk zones? There's nowhere to go but Swanson or Hamm walk zones.  They need a lot of PUs to move to Williamsburg.[/quote]

The diagram I saw imagined he bused PUs as a river, flowing around the walk zone islands.  Basically bus for WMS could be coming from what used to be a Kenmore or TJ PU even, and just flow up to WMS around walkzones. It actually reduced the overall demand for buses in the system because the routes allowed for more effective utilization for each bus.[/quote]

Dumb ass idea.  [/quote]

All this would do is increase the competition and prices for houses in the perceived immutable walk zones.[/quote]APS has already said it will try to preserve walk zones.  It's nothing new.[/quote]

Ok, so APS saying it will have walk zones as one of a series of guiding principles and saying APS produced a diagram (no they didn't) that preserves walk zones above all else and ignores any other guiding principles...two very different things.[/quote]
