Also that map shows drop offs prohibited way beyond the immediate perimeter of the school. GDS is comfortable enforcing restrictions down to Albemarle street but not in front of its campus on Wisconsin.

[quote=Anonymous]This was in response to the quoted poster who said nobody can tell people not to drop off on "any" public street.

It is true that GDS ignores the promise it made to BZA and DDOT in the CTR not to allow drop off on "any" public street. However, they do prohibit drop offs on a few public streets, so the poster who said nobody can do that should tell that to GDS.

Umm, just to state the obvious, neither GDS nor the ANC, nor DC can tell people that they cannot drop off or pick up on any public street. Just step back and think about that. It is ludicrous on its face.[/quote][/quote]

Liar!!!    The map is up and is accurate.  You can drop anywhere except the streets on the immediate perimeter of school.[/quote][/quote][/quote]

Nice try.  To tell the truth, perhaps neither the school and the ANC had the common sense to realize that they cannot and should not seek to control where people drive.  Under your view if someone drops at Target on WI that should be counted and prohbited.  That is crazy for both GDS and the city.[/quote]

I have seen this before. I know how this ends. Practice writing the following:

DC Treasurer $100.

DC will crack down and start writing tickets. [/quote]

Wait, what is DC writing a ticket for?  If it’s 8 am and I drop my kids off on Wisconsin ave northbound in front of comminikids, what would the ticket be for?  [/quote]

Okay have fun with your tin foil hat defense. The city can put up a traffic sign overnight. The thing is the police will slow write the ticket. So it’s $100 and 25-35 minutes of your time. Also they will give your name to the school. What are the penalties for breaking the enrollment agreement? The city has been doing this for years. It is something they have always been very efficient at.[/quote]

In what fantasyland do you think the city is going to install traffic signs to enforce some MOU with an ANC, and then that the police will actually enforce it.  I can't remember the last time I saw a DC police officer doing any kind of traffic enforcement even for truly egregious violations like running red lights and excessive speeding.[/quote]

+1. The ANC has lost any perspective. The residents of the neighborhood are concerned about a rash of car break-ins, thefts, assaults, not to mention the occasional gunfire. Where are the police for those? The ANC instead of directing law enforcement to violent crime, instead wants police to stop family cars on PUBLIC streets that appear to be dropping kids off to go to school.

What an unbelievably stupid waste of police officers' time! [/quote]

This seriously made me laugh out loud.
