[quote=Anonymous]I'm trying to understand how a traffic study conducted in late December would reveal anything useful. School's out, people are off from work. UDC is only $3.5 million more than the cheapest solution? Why are they even debating?  $3.5? That's like the cost of two houses in those neighborhoods. It's peanuts.

Ok, I'm going to give you and Mary Cheh your argument. Every DCPS in the District, except for upper NW schools, offer PS3. This means that tax payers in-boundary for schools like Murch and Lafayette are getting the least bang for their tax buck when it comes to education spending. Sure, there's the lottery (for public as well as charter) but it is inequitable that Mann, Key, Murch, Stoddert, Janney, Lafeyette don't offer PS3. Yes, PS3 and PK grew out of headstart and was aimed at needy children but it is now considered standard (while not required grades).  If I were a tax payer in the Murch or Lafayette districts I would be making this argument.  I realize that the schools do not have the physical room to add PS3,  but my point is if those schools can't provide PS3 to their constituents the least DCPS could do is spring for the right option for Murch while it undergoes it's much needed renovation.
