[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 $$$.

They don't need another school building there. They need it by Columbia Pike.

That’s already in the works. This would be after that.

DP, but then why are we even talking about it?  The last CIP doesn't have the next elementary school (which would be the Columbia Pike one) opening until 2029, which means they probably won't even start planning for one beyond that before 2027, seven years from now, for opening no earlier than 2022.  Things could look very different in seven years, making any site planning now a moot point.  Sure, take an inventory and identify locations that should be preserved as potential future sites, but anything beyond that is wasted effort.[/quote]
