[quote=Anonymous]Its going to very hard to drum up sympathy for this anti-River push, and it frankly seems like nothing more than NIMBY attitudes coming from people who have chosen to live within blocks of some of the busiest commercial thoroughfares in NW.  I, too, live near one of these busy commercial areas, and while my children riding their bikes around worries me, it is the price of doing business for having a beautiful, leafy neighborhood in a major city. There are plenty of examples of large historic homes that are transformed into commercial/nonprofit/educational spaces. If they turned an old Ambassadors residence in Spring Valley into a small elementary school, I would be fine with that. If they built a new school at Hardy Park that could alleviate crowding at our schools but would add more cars to an already busy thoroughfare...I would be fine with that too! Consider it like NCRC in Cleveland Park. Its just not a big deal, and I think these anti-River organizers (are going to have a hard time painting this little school as some sort of nefarious actor that's going to turn 42nd St into the Indy500.[/quote]
