[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The main barrier to improving access around Kenmore is not just FFX but also VDOT. And that same line-up really turned out in Arlington’s favor with the 66 tolling (not). It is frustrating as anything but I get why the CB and SB think it is a lost cause. They know it would take years of fighting with an uncertain outcome.[/quote]

I just do not understand why Arlington's ability to develop on the Kenmore site is dependent upon VDOT and FFX Co.  We built a middle school there.  There is an elementary school adjacent to the parcel.  The main traffic problem is not Carlin Springs itself, but the inefficient layout of the Kenmore site and there being only one entrance, which is also the only exit.  Getting off that site after a big event is the problem.  Traffic is the argument every single neighborhood cites to object to a new school development.  But guess what - they build it anyway.  Kenmore should be no different.  There are things that can be done even without FFX or VDOT.  And I also don't understand why the middle school students would have to relocate.  This site is the biggest in APS, isn't it?  It's bigger than Wakefield.  The elementary school does not sit on its acreage -- it has 4 acres of its own, and has separate access.
