[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I still don't understand the rationale to move one street (with a few secondary courts) in Franklin Farm to Lees Corner and Westfield. That particular street-- Tuckaway-- connects to Thompson Road, which is where Navy is. If that street has to be different from the remainder of the development, why not move them to Navy?

Franklin Farm currently feeds into two high schools, but they might now feed into three?

Make it make sense...[/quote]

It’s not just Tuckaway - they also proposed doing that to Hidden Meadow and Thorngate on the east side of Franklin farm. [/quote]

Sending them to Westfield,  as well?[/quote]

The logic is, they need kids to go to Westfield. [/quote]

That's not the point.

I have nothing against Westfield.

My concern is splitting ONE street (with a few secondary streets) in the development to a different high school. I also can't figure out why Tuckaway doesn't go to Navy since it is perpendicular to the road off which Navy sits.

[b]If they chose to change a bunch of Franklin Farm to Westfield, I wouldn't question it.[/b] I just think it's very strange that they chose only Tuckaway.[/quote]

They chose Tuckaway because they are sending it to Lee's Corner and they were doing that stupid suggestion of sending Lee's Corner to Westfield.

Again, no one should be shipped that far away when it is not necessary.

Just shift Centreville and Chantilly around the edges to Westfield.  Cub Run, and at least some of Bull Run that is equidistant.   Both of those are reasonable suggestions.[/quote]

That Tuckaway drive area is [b]closer [/b]in miles to Westfield then Bull Run ES. So doesn't make sense to describe it as "shipped that far away". If that's too far for you, then the Bull Run ES areas are definitely too far. Your logic isn't logicking.[/quote]

It is not closer--and the time is significantly different--especially on a school bus.  They would have to drive through another high school boundary to get there.  Right now, the time difference is plus 5 minutes than Bull Run Elementary in a car--much,much longer on a school bus than Bull Run (and there are Bull Run neighborhoods that are much closer in time elapsed.  Rush hour the time difference would be greater.

Geographically, it makes no sense at all.  Especially, when Bull Run is also not close to Centreville High School.[/quote]

I don't live in the area but I do hate hypocrites. Anyone can pop into google maps and see that you are wrong on the distances.

"Time traveled" and "time on a school bus" are not significant measurements, especially when it depends on the route and time of day with traffic around here. Please don't insult our intelligence. That neighborhood in Herndon would be going to and from Westfield **against** commuter traffic. The Bull Run areas would be commuting with traffic in the morning and with traffic in the afternoon on Route 28 which is a pain. That does make a huge difference. [/quote]
