Apologies, meant to be humorous but comes off mean spirited. FTR, it’s my neighborhood too, and I do have lingering frustration with my neighbors, after repeatedly having conversations with folks about this *exact* route, and being shot down at making such a preposterous suggestion. I’m looking forward to Westchester, and hope my neighbors can get over their feelings of being “wounded” and get behind what was, I believe, a good decision for the city.

+1 The proper response when families lose their school is a big, warm welcome to the new school, not rubbing salt in wounds.

Totally clear now, despite the fact that one of the barricades remains.

Homeowner can now report all clear as we’ve finished the clearing of Coventry courtesy of our basement which now serves as the ponce heights retention pond (until I finish pumping out the water) and the additional pump purchased and placed into the blocked storm drain itself. That’s what Decatur is all about, right? Volunteer and do whatever you can because the city apparently can’t.

Please be nice. A lot of hearts broken in my neighborhood, but everyone is now set to make Westchester a great school. Comments like yours don’t help Decatur heal after a big debate/decision.

Still blocked off even though it looks fordable now. Blocked storm drain is reported as cause.

How dare you suggest that Lenox Park families could walk to Westchester? THERE IS NO SAFE ROUTE. And, um, NO ROUTE COULD BE MADE SAFE.
