[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any idiot can look at a map and see that. The boundary changes don't affect me. But moving AF turns walkers into long haul bus riders. [/quote]

"Long haul bus riders"?  You do like some hyperbole with your whine, don't you?[/quote]

I don't see how it's an exaggeration. Easy walk through neighborhoods and Ballston to W-L versus a [b]bus headed across major roads and down Carlin Springs[/b] in heavy morning traffic. It will be quite the distant and time consuming journey.  No way that kids could do it on foot.

And APS says they value proximaty?[/quote]

take G Mason Dr.

or the bike path.[/quote]

I think due to congestion around Ballston, the drive from AF to W-L and the drive from AF to Wakefield are pretty close. But there is no disputing the walk from the neighborhood to W-L is shorter and the bike routes are safer.

The walk from AF to Wakefield via George Mason is much longer than on the bike path. But I would not let my kids walk or bike on the bike path - I won't even walk or bike on it myself if I'm alone. It's very isolated and in the 10+ years we've lived here there have been enough crime reports involving that stretch that for our family it's a non starter. [/quote]
