[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCPS could've gutted and renovated the historic part of SSIMS years ago, not unlike the thorough renovation of the old B-CC HS. It's a shame because SSIMS is in a walkable neighborhood convenient to transit and close to downtown Silver Spring. A holding facility makes no sense.  [/quote]

Taylor thinks its proximity to the purple line makes it unsuitable for walkers.  I guess that’s not an issue for a holding facility.[/quote]
Where did he say that?[/quote]

He mentioned the purple line being right outside the schools on the call yesterday, and said the at wasn’t good.  I’m not sure if he commented on it’s relevance for a holding facility.[/quote]

According to the Bethesda Today article, he cited two pedestrian incidents during a meeting with the SSIMS community.  But honestly I don't see how these are relevant.  One involved a teenager being hit by an SUV near Einstein and the other was the recent incident in Rockville involving the 11-year old girl being hit by a school bus.
