[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why in the world do you think it is good for the broader community to limit field time at schools?  I'm sympathetic to a degree on the lights though in the case of the Field School it is pretty well buffered on all sides:

But as a parent I'm fed up with wasting time racing all over DC adding to congestion and pollution while both private and public school athletic fields are locked on the weekend in large part because of opposition from nearby neighbors.

So the nearby neighbors don't have the burden of listening to children playing sports (the horror) while everyone else wastes time and has additional traffic on their streets.

It is no surprise that the clueless dinosaurs on ANC 3D have done this at every opportunity but I certainly hope the community in Tenleytown via their ANC insists that GDS make their athletic facilities available to the public at specific times, particularly since GDS is bragging about the greenery this project will allegedly create while at the same time creating an additional burden by requesting that 42nd Street be closed through this stretch to create these playing fields.

I think most of the neighbors with no kids or no kids who play rec sports are not going to feel your pain or agree with you. You don't have to live next to these fields ! You just expect to waltz in, make a bunch of noise and take up a bunch of parking places. Your post could be used by the ANC as an example of why these kinds of activities should be banned.[/quote]
