[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The want to expand the school to 350 kids (expanding to add through sixth grade),  day care center and health clinic open to the public. The issue in the neighborhood is not the mission of the school it is that there are already 12+ schools, the department of homeland security and the new buildings at the old Fannie Mae site that are already causing huge amounts of traffic in an area that already has dangerous traffic. They are under contract to purchase TTR old Buchanan estate which is on the corner of Nebraska, 42nd and Van Ness. With 350 kids, 90 faculty, many more staff, patients to the clinic, families of the infants and staff at the health clinic that will add more than 500 cars to the residential part of tenleytown.

Thanks for the NIMBY fear-mongering.

It would be a great addition to the neighborhood, more families would have more walkable and bikable options for their kids.[/quote]

there are already 13 schools and day care centers in tenleytown . and sidwell is about to expand and is just a few blocks away
aren't there other neighborhoods with no schools that could get this one?[/quote]

I agree Tentleytown is getting busy, but Mary Cheh and Greater Greater Washington and Muriel Bowser and a few annoying, but very well organized millenials with no understanding of livability want DENSITY. If not this school, what will they rubber stamp in its place? And none of them are interested in historical preservation of old buildings. [b]Why doesn't the neighborhood pool together to buy it and create a comnunity center and park?[/b][/quote]

Wow. Someone is bitter. Annoying? Millennials? (learn how to spell it, negative one, if you are going to insult someone) News flash - housing is a MAJOR factor in determining a city's livability index. Why don't you go post on another list serv all your assumptions with your rubber stamp. [/quote]

Well, and honestly... I would think that the millennials would rather have the park![/quote]
