[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]GDS is a long way away from a master plan for the whole site, but the odds are that the Volvo dealership would become an entryway into the school and the Wisconsin Ave. frontage would be developed as commercial property  to throw off revenue. The Safeway site alone is roughly the same size as the US campus, so there is plenty of room for an additional field plus LS and MS buildings. [b] By buying both properties, GDS can ask for the closure of 42nd and Davenport Sts, adding significant square footage to the campus footprint.  [/b]

From a school standpoint, it is pretty impressive that they had the cash available to make the purchase.  I think our PTA has the resources to buy a single Volvo, not a whole dealership.

Yeah, this is what I'm guessing will happen.  My kids don't go to GDS, but they have lots of friends who are current students and grads.  In many ways, it's a great school, but the traffic at morning drop-off is scary.  I hope the neighbors and ANC will push to ensure that the new construction includes a traffic plan that will be safe for students and neighbors.    [/quote]
