[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Remember:  when Skyview was purchased we were in the midst of a major (we were told) comprehensive boundary review.  Chantilly, Westfield, and Centreville had all been identified as too crowded.  Chantilly was pushing 3000 and Westfield was growing.  Centreville, while not as large, was overcapacity.
Langley/Great Falls neighborhoods were screaming to fill Herndon with kids who live farther away than those who live much closer to Herndon.  With the purchase of Skyview, their pipedream was destroyed.

This should have been open and shut.  As PP said, dragging this out made it so much worse.

The RIO decision really has nothing to do with backfilling Westfield--except for setting the standard for the loudest voices.

Meren is now upset, but Hunter Mill reps have ignored the neighborhoods who do not want IB for years.

Walney Oaks is halfway between Chantilly and Westfield.  Objectively, they should be at Westfield.
Chantilly Mews is very close to Chantilly.  Objectively, they should stay there.

And, yes, objectively, most of Crossfield should be at Skyview.  But, I guess that ship has sailed.

What I would like to know is the FCPS explanation for taking Walney Oaks out of the mx.

McDaniel has given a very weak explanation for why it should stay at Oakton--when his neighborhood is extremely close to South Lakes.  (3.3 miles vs 10.3)[/quote]

His neighborhood is not 10.3 miles from Oakton, try again. [/quote]

suggest you use googlemaps.[/quote]

I don't have to use Googlemaps, I live it. [/quote]
