[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]It's not a NIMBY-driven issue, it's a county analysis as to whether a particular area can handle a higher volume of traffic and whether the building's footprint will be consistent with the land use requirements.[/quote]

Do these "experts" have any common sense?  Have they looked at a map?

1. The students going to Westfield cause far more traffic issues than they would to the new school.  Crossfield, Floris, and Fox Mill already use that traffic pattern for Carson.  They already had 1000 students going to that school, so I do not see how it could aggravate the traffic much.  In fact, it would relieve traffic on 28 if kids going to Westfield from the area go to the new school.  Certainly, if Oakton goes, it would relieve traffic on I66 and the winding back roads.

2. The building already has a footprint that was approved.

LOL!  So, the kids going down 657 and McLearen don't already do that for Carson?  So, the kids going down 657 and McLearen don't already do that to get to Westfield--unless they are going down 28?

I don't know which way McNair and Coates use to get to Westfield--I'm guessing that some use 657 and some use 28.   For sure, the Floris kids are using 657 and 28.  Some likely also use McLearen.

This will be reducing traffic.  And, remember, there were already 1000 KAA students using McLearen.  I passed many KAA buses on McLearen Rd and West Ox.
What part of a "closer commute" contributes to more traffic?

Fairfax is congested enough as it is, so I don't begrudge county planning people taking a look at this to make sure FCPS isn't creating any unforeseen traffic chock-holds around McLearen and 657.     [/quote][/quote]
