[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Things that are wrong with the Key map:
1.  Empties Long Branch to make room for Rosslyn.  Moves Long Branch kids to McKinley.  Rosslyn to Long Branch actually makes sense -- its actually a shorter bus ride than they have now since you can take Rt 50.  The Long Branch walk zone is very small because they never got up in arms about trying to expand it (which is a sign of what a great, healthy community they are).  They are moving kids that are within a half mile (people who legitimately walk some portion of the time) of the school to another one over two miles away.  
2.  Takes planning units north of 50 into Fleet.  This will never be ok.
3.  Moves parts of Abingdon that fought it last time into Drew.  
4.  Is Mckinley contiguous?  Looks like it barely is.
Honestly, they could have made this look better by[b] trying to keep McKinley contiguous and Ashlawn contiguous.  The middle of the county is a mess, but they don't care (the person who did the map lives in Cherrydale).  [/quote][/b]

Another community proposal map did this and ended up with a weird snake-like, zig-zag border for Ashlawn.

I don't think that McKinley border is contiguous.  There's an island around McKinley, i.e. the current walk zone people who don't want to move + a long slice through the center of the county so kids who are pretty much across the street from Key can bus across the county to McKinley.  People should be ashamed to advocate for this map.[/quote]
