[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Turning Wootton HS as a holding school is just an option for future projects which won't happen probably at the earliest until Damascus HS is fully renovated/rebuilt. It all depends on the mcps enrollment numbers and money fund. If there is not enough mcps enrollment and no money,  they may not need a holding school or push the idea of turning Wootton HS as a holding school more later like a decade or two later. It is just my thoughts. We don't  need a holding school or permanent Crown HS when  mcps is currently underenrolled. [/quote]

Yeah definitely better to have a huge abandoned building right on Wootton pkwy for the foreseeable future. Also if you have ever talked to anyone in construction-the longer a building sits empty like that, its condition just gets considerably worse. [/quote]

You must be new around here.  The Wootton building won't be abandoned.  MCPS will sell the land to a developer for cheap to build new housing that will then feed into Crown.  Maybe even a townhouse development that will vastly increase traffic on Wootton Parkway.

[b]Keeping Wootton where it is controls traffic speeds and increases safety along Wootton Parkway.[/b][/quote]

:lol: You will make up anything to keep your school where it is, won't you?

A townhouse development would not add more traffic than your existing school.  But if it did, how is that different than development in any other part of county?[/quote]

What are you talking about?  It's a narrow, 2-lane road surrounded by exercise trails and residential neighborhoods.  A massive new residential development is guaranteed to increase traffic, just like building a brand new school in an already traffic congested area.  Oh wait, MCPS already did that - and you want to make traffic around Crown even worse?

You're so desperate to stick it to Wootton and feel that you're this >< close to achieving your lifelong dream with Option H.

Just admit that you don't live in Wootton and don't care about Wootton families.[/quote]

The land available from tearing down Wootton would not result in a "massive new residential development".  I drive down that road often as I live very close to it.  But people are happy to create traffic in my neighborhood as well.[/quote]

You do realize that Wootton sits of a fairly large piece of real estate?  Also, there is a significant push to build more dense housing near major roadways.  This means townhouses (just like down the street from Wootton) or even 3-story apartment buildings.  It's too valuable a piece of property for MCPS if it currently faces budget shortfalls, and it may have already been promised to a developer if Option H goes through....[/quote]
