[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Somebody is trying to make the ASF-Swanson-YHS trifecta that currently does not exist.

Homes in that potential planning unit are already the priciest PER SQ foot then anywhere else in the County.  It's a shame they are splitting up a neighborhood and [b]making neighbors ride a bus 40 min each way [/b]when they've could walk to subsidize their dreams.  Some have definitely bought into the lemming-view that the whiter YHS is better for their dear children even if it means driving them personally, handing over the keys to their Mercedes or the dreaded bus (somebody no high schooler wants to ever have to ride$.[/quote]

I'm sorry but WTH? There is no place in this county that is 40 minutes away from any other place. [/quote]

Bus routes are rambling, have multiple stops and occupy the same roads with loads of other traffic.  Kids on the far end of the route can have a lengthy ride.[/quote]

My kids elementary school is 0.65 miles from their bus stop.

They have to be at the bus stop for an 8:19 AM pick-up and school doesn't start until 9 am.  In the afternoon, if I pick up--my kids are home at 3:50---the bussed kids don't get home until 4:15pm on a good day...and this is a route INCREDIBLY CLOSE to the school and very few extra stops.  Add a few more miles and, yes, those unlucky HIGH Schoolers will be getting up and leaving a full 45-50 min earlier than if they were walking or biking the 1.1 miles.[/quote]
