It appears the school district can do whatever it chooses, again. Arbor Heights does desperately need a new school–but it is very disturbing that the school district, time and again, can ride roughshod over neighborhood concerns (as with the Madison signboard). I can’t in good conscience suggest people withhold support for school bonds to get attention to this problem–but the established public process does not seem to do more than give lip service to neighborhood concerns. I’m not sure what else to do.

It’s baffling that the school district can make a determination of no significant traffic impact on the neighborhood. There wasn’t even a consultation with SDOT, and 300+ trips (not including many additional school buses) will be flooding the already crowded, narrow, sidewalk-less streets in the adjacent area. The usual bureaucratic BS, and it was NOT for lack of involvement by neighbors.

I heard optimistic is Jan 2016 but more realistically Sept 2016.

I wager it will be built before the Alaskay Way tunnel project finishes.

Realistically, what is the most probable timeline now for new school to open? September 2016? 2017?

Hallelujah! Common sense prevails.
