NIMBYism strikes again. I wouldn’t be surprised if it were some visitors of this forum. [/quote]

What a nasty post, OP!  If you had bothered to read, you would know that the citizens working on this are aligned with the Sierra Club.  Have you seen what VDOT is doing at the Georgetown Pike interchange and the bridge?  The trees have been all stripped out.  It's horrible.  And schools and churches sit right there along with homeowners.[/quote]

Oh noooo! Not the poor churches!! Lmaooo[/quote]

Cut it out. Cooper Middle School sits right there. Once upon a time it had a tree buffer but VDOT ripped the trees out in front if it without notice. That resulted in citizen outrage and protests from Cooper’s principal about air quality. Body then moved all of its vehicles in. John Foust promised it would become a dog park. It wasn’t now all of the remaining trees have been ripped out. It’s an unsightly mess[/quote]

[b]No one else is saying it, so I will...won't somebody *please* think of the CHILDREN??!!![/quote][/b]

+1.  The Patch ran this today:  Almost 1,900 Virginia students attend schools within a half-mile of the locus of the project’s scope change, and about 7,500 students attend school within two miles of the project, the plaintiffs contend.[/quote]

My kids go to Churchill Road ES. Yes, the construction site is ugly, but it doesn’t really impact the school. I’m sure it’s annoying for the kids at Cooper, but they spend most of the day indoors.[/quote]
