[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are they moving Wayside to Wootton and not moving Ritchie Park to Wootton?  Fallsgrove, Orchard Ridge, Horizon Hill, and Potomac Woods are all walkable to the high school.  [/quote]
Because RPES provides the upper SES to RM, particularly if FG moves out.

If you look at the maps, it shows RPES is NOT a walk zone, but FG is.  Yes, I know HH is actually walkable to Wootton (I live here, and I  know HH used to be a walkable neighborhood to Wootton) but MCPS hasn't identified HH as such, but they did identify FG as a walk zone to Crown.[/quote]

Because they didn't draw new walk zones for the existing schools, they just used what their current walk zones are.[/quote]

Very typical of the board.  A neighborhood that literally backs up to the school and they deem it not walkable.  Like the PP said, I think all neighborhoods except Park Potomac are walkable to Wootton.  I know Fox Hills West is considered walkable to Wootton and that neighborhood is further than Horizon Hill.  I know Copenhaver has a bus because parts of that neighborhood and that little area behind are deemed not walkable to Wootton.  But again, every RPES neighborhood besides Park Potomac has easy access to walk thru neighborhoods/parks and down Wootton Parkway with a 6ft wide walk/bike path.  And there are already so many kids in those neighborhoods that have COSA to Wootton as you can see them all walking home.  No waiting on buses or activity buses.  Just walk the 10-20min home.
