[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Redistricting areas (LV, Arlington Forest, etc.) that are within the walk zone would have the effect of preventing these students from walking home after school activities, require more buses, and incur costs for the County among other things. It is interesting that Arlington issued a news release this summer titled "Arlington Highlighted as Example of Walkability for the Nation" - in which, Arlington leadership said to create walkability, you have to create pockets of walking zones between people's homes and .... schools. It seems that the school staff's potential solutions to the school overcapacity issue should be in line with the County's overall goals.[/quote] Lyon Village is not included in any of the current scenarios, so I have no idea why this remains under discussion. Arlington Forest is included, because a large section of the PU's are located outside the 1.5 mile walk zone to W-L, and some parts of your PU's are even in the Wakefield walk zone if I remember correctly. Just because one [i]can[/i] walk does not mean they are considered "walkers." Stop trying to move the goal posts. You meet all other objective criteria: stability, contiguity, alignment, demographic diversity. [/quote]
