[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a proponent of diversity in our schools and my DC attended them. Nevertheless, some things to consider about rezoning planning units to increase diversity by busing. In 2011, APS had 134 buses. In 2017 APS projects it will own 174 buses. That's a 30% increase. Imagine the increased cost to purchase, maintain and staff the buses. Now, APS needs someplace to store the buses when not in use and tne more buses we have the more space we need. The Buck property across from WL and backing up to Hayes Park may likely be just that in the next few years. Check out Arlington Advisory Groups & Commisions Community Facilities Study's website. The price tag for the Buck property is $30M. A very expensive parking lot. Assuming everyone was agreeable to busing to increase diversity, how is it going to paid for?[/quote] Doesn't matter. Not enough people are in favor of busing to make it happen on a large scale.[/quote]
