Who said anything about Stratton Park? I said the location across from WJ, where they are supposedly planning to build North Bethesda Community Center. The presentation suggested that the location could be modified to co-locate the new school on the same property. [/quote]

Walter Johnson HS to Farmland ES (by car): 2.8 miles

Walter Johnson HS to Garrett Park ES (by car): 3.1 miles [/quote]

[b]Again, you're not factoring in rush hour traffic at that time of morning.[/b]  Every major roadway you'd have to take to get to WJ from Garret Park or Farmland is completely congested with commuters going to Bethesda and downtown DC at that time of morning.

It would be a nightmare for a school bus.
I know, because I do the same commute now from Garrett Park to Bethesda every day for work. I can't imagine kids having to take that every morning to get to school.

Two to three miles on those major roadways would take much more than 30 minutes with rush hour traffic, plus multiple pickup locations. [/quote]

No, because we're talking about distances. 2-3 miles is not going to take half an hour at 9 am or 3:30 pm. It's not the Bay Bridge on Labor Day Friday.

Also, if you're commuting by car from Garrett Park to Bethesda, and it's a nightmare - have you considered taking the Metro?[/quote]
