From the LETTERS Page

Taking away the only middle school in the area, instead of investing it in and making it stronger, will be detrimental to the adolescents that Canter and the other neighborhood schools serve. It will do direct harm to Canter students, as well as negatively affecting the surrounding schools. From Making the case for Canter Middle School

The students at Canter, their teachers and their administrators, have formed a community and a bond that has transformed the lives of many students as they move through their school years. From Lots of reasons to keep Canter open

Sure, any development is likely to produce some increase in traffic levels and parking demand. But if that's a reason to squelch a project, nothing would ever get built. From McMobil plan will benefit Hyde Park and Kenwood
