[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have not seen it.  How much field us left for parent parking on back to school night or other big events?[/quote]

Somehow the bottom line is always: how does this affect parking.[/quote]

Parking sucks at most schools as is, so this is a moot point. [/quote]

It is particularly bad at JW as it is basically at a 270 intersection.  There is almost no street parking near by.  [/quote]

A lot of people live within walking/biking distance of JW. And there's also the T2, the 47, and the 56. If more people who can walk/bike/take the bus actually walked/biked/took the bus, then there would be more parking spaces available for people for whom walking/biking//taking the bus isn't an option.[/quote]

A few neighborhoods are in walking distance..but not many.   Do those Ride Ones really have the capacity to transport 100 of parents all leaving at the same hour in the late evening?  I live in WG. There is no bus that would help us get to JW.  Falls grove, Kings Farm, Derwood, Parc Potomac, College Gardens  all very large communities outside of walking distance.  They were already breaking back to school night into two nights to accommodate space wise and that was with the field filled with cars.[/quote]

If you're not within walking distance, then this isn't about you.

For what it's worth, though - it's about 2 miles from Woodley Gardens to JW, which is a perfect biking distance. A 15-minute trip. In fact, it's probably faster than driving at mass school events, if you include time to park and to leave the parking lot.[/quote]
