[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It frequently takes my dd 45-60 minutes to get to extra curriculars ar Marshall in the 5-6:00 hour. Perhaps we should start a petition to close the ramp to 495 from route 7. It’s unfair for us to be sooooo inconvenienced. There is no other way to get in and out of the school other than using route 7. And if the ramp at Georgetown pike is closed, then the traffic will move to route 7 to get onto the beltway.[/quote]

I don’t think anyone is paying much attention to the Langley survey but, yes, if the Georgetown Pike exit ramp is closed, traffic around Marshall will just get worse. [/quote]

So you say.  But you seem concerned about it enough to try and discredit it.  All PTSA's in the county of a school district this size carry weight.  Their actions speak for many and seeing as the quality of our public schools - and equal access to those public schools - is what draws new employers to Fairfax County, you can bet local officials listen to what the PTA's have to say.  They sure did on Full-Day Kindgergarten and the Fairgrade initiative.  Langley is the county's top performing high school behind TJ.  Yes, I happen to believe local politicians will care that LHS kids have equal access to their school activities.  Something tells me that school is filled with plenty of lawyers who could figure out a way to make a discrimination case out of this if traffic prevents their students from partaking in activities that other kids in the country can easily partake in.
