[quote=Anonymous]Ok, so let me get this straight:

1) It seems that regardless of the 50 ft or 60 ft or whatever ft structure the parties agree to, GDS will be able to build their ES, MS and HS campuses in the site in some capacity, so the traffic will inevitably be tough at pick up and drop off, right? In other words, can the city prevent them from concentrating their student population in one place so as to avoid the traffic increase? If not, it seems like something the community should work with GDS on to find a reasonable accommodation to ameliorate problems.

2) What is this about making 42nd Street narrow/removing it as a public thorough fare? Are they planning to install a median or something to make drivers slow down during pick up and drop off? Would this mean no parking on 42nd street between Chesapeake? No cars at all? Please elaborate.

I literally live on 42nd Street and am part of the population of families and older adults traveling to and from Janney, St. Columba's and the independent living facility, and despite what has been written previously in this and other related threads, I still don't see why this is Armageddon for the neighborhood, especially in exchange for more retail, restaurants, etc.[/quote]
