[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The 2 SB members who were there seemed to be pro-Kenmore before tonight, right?  How do we get the third vote?  Obviously, it won't be NVD.  [/quote]

The two school board members who were there last night weren't even pro-Kenmore last night. We're you listening to them?  When asked to commit to the Kenmore option, Reid said go talk to your neighbors in the south to understand how they feel, and he's not exactly wrong. [/quote]

I am really confused what the issue is with kenmore? It's a great site for a high school, a huge plot of land 32 acres. Pretty far from other high schools. Are they worried about traffic? How bad can it be? Arlington is a tiny county -- so they're commute is ten minutes longer if they have to leave 15 minutes early to miss a bus rush? They are making I-66 HOT lane which will likely dump a LOT MORE traffic than a single high school on North arlington roads -- we all suffer things for the greater good. And living in an congested urban environment, this is part and parcel.

Again, PP said don't let high school students drive, and that will cut down a lot of traffic. My university didn't let students own cars on campus, so seems reasonable for a high school.

What is the root issue with the opposition to kenmore -- I really don't understand? All the sites Have busy and crowded roads, what is special about kenmore?[/quote]
