[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm trying to understand how a traffic study conducted in late December would reveal anything useful. School's out, people are off from work. UDC is only $3.5 million more than the cheapest solution? Why are they even debating?  $3.5? That's like the cost of two houses in those neighborhoods. It's peanuts.  [/quote]

People care because it is $3.5 million dollars less than can be spent on the school construction, which already has a budget of $10 million less than Lafayette had for their less extensive and less complex renovation. And because there are other schools across the city that badly need renovation money.[/quote]

Why don't they take some of the $200 million being spent on Duke Ellington if there are other schools in need?  Heck, something like 25%-30% of DE's students don't even live in the District of Columbia. DC taxpayers are subsidizing this outlandish project while other schools like Murch are getting nickel and dimed.  Why??[/b][/quote]

Do you actively try to get the Post or City Paper to look into this? Or ask the City Council to investigate?  I am guessing you are the same person (or one of a few) that lament the DE cost on various threads so I was just wondering if your efforts go beyond DCUM? (I'm not criticizing, I am genuinely curious and feel like the issue needs attention)
