[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone explain why Crossfield has Franklin - Skyview in one scenario only? And why wouldn’t it be Carson - Skyview when Franklin is going to be an Oakton feeder? Make it make sense![/quote]

Because Crossfield to Skyview is not such an obvious choice.

The trip from Crossfield to Skyview would be much shorter than the current commute to Oakton, which is a valid point.

That said, if Crossfield switched to Franklin Middle and stayed at Oakton High, while Oak Hill switched to Carson Middle and Skyview, it would eliminate a split feeder pattern, another criteria.

Fox Mill is as close to Skyview as Crossfield is, if not closer

It appears that more Fox Mill families would send kids to Skyview than Crossfield families.

Community input isn’t everything, but it should carry weight.

But I agree that if Crossfield gets moved to Skyview, it should stay at Carson. That part doesn't make sense.

Closer != faster.

Left turns, stop light timing, number of stops lights, speed limits, traffic density, propensity for accidents and the like.

That's just too simplistic.

In no way is the trip to Oakton faster than the trip to Skyview.  Not even close.  Especially for most of the Crossfield students.
Franklin may be closer for some, but not all than Skyview.[/quote]

I've posted this before.

My kids bus takes 45 min to Carson.
Our neighbor takes 35 min to oakton.

Yes, Carson is closer.

Where you are on the route plus all of those factors are why you're too short for this ride.[/quote]
