[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lynnbrook is the no brainer obvious choice. The MCPS already owns the property, the current buildings are already falling apart and will very soon need major renovation (or tear down). Parks has already said they will WORK with MCPS on Lynnbrook, thereby not losing any rectangular fields. Lynnbrook has a minimal amount of administrative employees, they are largely leased out to a PRIVATE day care center, and already big MCPS buses ride up and down those streets with several routes taking daycare students to and from 4 MCPS elementary schools. And we could have a terrific middle school that MANY OF US COULD WALK TO. A real community middle school, and it would be a wonderful asset for us, so no, we are NOT nimbys.

Parks has made it very clear that they are not willing to give up one square foot of unencumbered park land (sorry RCH, you are considered encumbered with reclaim clause) and so when I hear that the second SSAC is building consensus to recommend NCC Park...I just think they are setting themselves up for failure. If those families in RCH want to not end up as "The Top Pick", they should start lobbying for a good hard look at Lynnbrook, because that is the fiscally responsible and smart choice.[/quote]

OMG!  NCC Park?! Really?  You mean the one off of Jones Bridge Rd. near Connecticut?  The traffic along Ct. Ave. from East West to the Beltway is already a nightmare at rush hour.  The Jones Bridge/Conn. Av. intersection is no left turn at all four approaches.  Entering/exiting NCC Park for school buses (and parents picking their children up before/after school) would be a nightmare.

The neighborhood is already up in arms about the traffic problems that the nearby Purple Line and additional Chevy Chase Land Company development will bring along this part of Ct. Ave. adding a middle school at that location seems unwise.

If one wanted a middle school in that area, the SSAC ought to also be looking at the privately held Chevy Chase Land Company property and see if some kind of deal could be made for middle school land in a better location as a trade for CCLC development along CT. Ave.

CCLC basically owns the county in terms of what they want to do.   they will not give up anything and thy are rolling the dice big time on the purple linne  who do you think paid to have the railroad bridge on the trail to be renovated to hold trains???[/quote]
