[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why people keep fixating on Wootton parkway, it’s old layout, one way traffic, certainly not what modern school campus about. [/quote]

And building a high capacity school in an urban, highly congested traffic area makes sense?  At least Wootton is in a residential neighborhood. [/quote]

Crown is also a residential neighborhood. Many students will be able to walk there.[/quote]

You know this isn’t a proper comparison. Crown is basically a huge shopping center that has some apartments and townhouses-No normal person would describe it as a residential neighborhood. The neighborhoods adjacent to Wootton aren’t also adjacent to Harris Teeter etc…[/quote]

I think you kind of missed the whole point of Crown.

Where it was supposed to be pseudo urban living in a suburban area.  And Wootton used to have that shopping center with the Giant down the street that was vacant for a long time.  So those neighborhoods had a Giant right next to it.

Personally I'm not a fan of the move because thought that the current Wootton location served it's community great with it's location being central to several neighborhoods, ease of public transit, walking trail, proximity to it's feeder elementary schools and right next to it's feeder middle school.

And while I'm not a fan of the type of place Crown is, where I see it more of a place for either younger people starting out or retirees who prioritize convenience and easy access, you can't say it's not a residential neighborhood.  As the other poster mentioned, maybe not the stereotypical suburban residential neighborhood.[/quote]
