City Councilor Ricardo Arroyo (Roslindale, Hyde Park, Mattapan) writes that it's time for the BPDA to stop delaying action on Roxbury Prep's proposal to turn the old Clay Chevrolet on Belgrade Avenue into a new high school, that Roxbury Prep students deserve a modern high school and that a school literally in front of a commuter-rail stop and with several bus lines running past it will not gridlock local streets.
Last month, Arroyo replaced Tim McCarthy, who had opposed the school.

First - it's a bit unfair to write "Arroyo replaced Tim McCarthy." Makes it sound like Arroyo beat McCarthy. McCarthy did not run.
Secondly - it is not the School - Roxbury Prep which has submitted the proposal. UnCommon Schools, Inc., the management organization which now runs the School, owns a company called Roxbury Prep Belgrade Ave, LLC, which is a real estate company. It is that company which has submitted the proposal and NOT THE SCHOOL.
Finally - Why do politicians get to interfere in the processing of projects? The BPDA hasn't completed their Article 80 process, so we hear.
Especially, when supporters of the project: the senior director of facilities, who submitted the proposal, Trustees of the School and other "C" level UnCommon Schools employees also "supported" the Councilor.

Says the opposition group that has demanded fealty from every local politician to their NIMBY position on this. Give it a rest.

That’s what public servants are supposed to do for their constituents: represent them as someone so kindly mansplained to me above about how a voting representative democracy works.

I would like someone to propose a more suitable location, just one...All other locations Condos/Apartments have been built in order for people who work in the city can have an easier commute. People that are able to live just outside the city their chosing the ideal places; Roslindale, Jamaica Plain, and West Roxbury. A charter school goes up the neighborhood doesn't benefit financially. Housing goes up and they get more people in the neighborhood spending money...
I've got an idea for a great place for housing
