[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where does the ANC derive the authority to ask for/enforce this cap?  [/quote]

The cap was part of the zoning order with the permit application when the GDS high school, and later the full school, moved into the neighborhood. The cap is the cap and it is there for safety reasons, ie fire marshall/building codes etc - so if GDS was in violation, it isn't necessarily for neighborhood traffic that is an issue, but rather how many people (staff, faculty, students) are in the space physically.

And if I were a member of the GDS community, I would be concerned that the school wasn't managing this properly.

The ANC is not the bad guy here.[/quote]

The ANC isn't the bad guy because enforcing a neighborhood agreement is reasonable, but it's not for fire safety reasons. The agreement contemplates the cap increasing over time, which wouldn't be possible if it was truly related to safety (and the anc has nothing to do with fire safety).[/quote]

As someone who lives at 41st and Ellicott, it would great if GDS parents stopped dropping off on our corner. They pull up, idle to say goodbye or whatever and meanwhile cars are to pass and then yup there’s another GDS car. And yes, it’s GDS parents. The cars have the magnets and the kids get out and walk west on Ellicott. [/quote]

Drop off on that side of Wisconsin is explicitly allowed under the agreement with the ANC.[/quote]

Families are dropping off on 41st St. which is not allowed. [/quote]

I think it is.
