When ASTEC moves to its new location in a year or more, what will happen to the Shepherd Mall space that ASTEC currently fills? Shepherd Mall is WAY overdue for real improvements.

Only the elementary school is moving -- for now.

Why did they do angle parking for single-row parking spots with one exit? You have to pass your parking spot and make a U-turn to come back the other way to park, or do a 2-point turn.

I think you are supposed to go west on the main road (which is the north one) and switchback to the eastbound on the south loop. The exit is dedicated eastbound at the same curb cut as the entrance. I don't know if they are going to get another curb cut off of General Pershing on the west side because I'm not sure they own that property.

As I drove down General Pershing yesterday, I noticed a steel structure going up behind the school. Not sure what it will be used for.

ASTEC Charter School Middle & High School
Aerospace Science and Technology Education Center, Inc (herein called “ASTEC”) has ongoing development of the subject property as an educational campus providing elementary school, middle school, high school, and related administration facilities along with athletic fields. The site currently has an existing elementary school with an additional “wing” under construction and (2) modular classrooms. Due to the growth of the school and the needs of the community, a school combining middle and high school is proposed on the west side of the PUD site. Construction is to begin in 2024 and the expected completion of the project will facilitate the enrollment of the school in the fall of 2025 consistent with the Master Development Plan.

if that's the case, they might want to be careful with any stray dogs. : )
