There is nothing wrong with Ashlawn other than that people in the McKinley walk zone can’t walk there.

Fortunately Reid is pretty ineffective at asserting positions or persuading people, so even if they convinced him, he won’t do more than “spitball” without taking an actual position.


Reid is a wet noodle...if he is your last hope might as well get ready to ride to Ashlawn. I guess he can try and look like a nice guy by being the 1 vote against it.

I read one that said something about "Some respondents proposed moving ATS to South Arlington, but we're not talking about South Arlington right now."

So are we all one Arlington, or not?


Which slide was that on?



I;m not sure if you are asking about the McKinley quote or the ATS to South arlington. The McKinley slide is page 37. I'm not the poster on moving to South Arlington and don't know if that is in this presentation.


I was talking about the SA comment, which I’m pretty sure pp is making up.

Nice job sticking to facts and making a rational decision.


Especially strong given her background in Spanish Immersion (helped open and spent 10 years as principal at Claremont) in APS.

I'm pretty sure that comment isn't in the draft presentation.
