[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someone just suggested that a new school could be built where the central library is.  Really?? That is outrageous to even consider taking away a public resource like that.[/quote]

There’s actually a lot of land there that could probably be designed to keep the library and build a school. So I could see that as a possibility [/quote]

It'd be tight. The land is jam-packed with soccer fields, baseball fields, tennis courts, volleyball courts, basketball court, playground, etc.

What is the smallest footprint that is feasible? Underground parking, multi-level. Could work but it'd be $$$.

That’s why I said the whole area would have to be reworked (redesign some of the fields and such space to accommodate as may have field space and school space as possible) it’s not ideal but that is a large chuck of county owned land that could be used if we continue to face a shortage of space. [/quote]

It's so close to the metro they should be able to get away with dramatically reduced parking. [/quote]

They would have to become really creative in order to pull off having the library, an ES and fields in that area.  Also if you took away the fields, you run into the sports contingent (which is large in Arlington) who already have to do some intricate planning for all the practices and games.  
(Not to spiral off but if we really wanted a large chunk of land, someone should target the country club, haha.)
