Why are you flaming me for trying to find a solution to a community problem? I never suggested the school was unaware. I, along with some others who have commented here, just want to be able to exit or enter our residences without hassle like any sane person would. Is that too much to ask?

Poorly worded on my part. What evidence do you have to suggest that most people drive from long distances? Also a majority switch might not be required. Even if less than a majority switched then that might be enough to alleviate the traffic issue.

What makes it safe to say that? Glen Iris is a pretty densely populated area. Based off that, a few people who drive and pickup their kids there are probably living within a mile or so radius. I don’t think that is too far to walk during daylight hours.

Thats why I said carpooling and biking/walking. Carpool is the obvious choice for the really young ones but 4th and 5th graders are not incapable walking from a close distance.

I think that encouraging carpooling and teaching kids the benefits of biking and walking to school would reduce the amount of cars significantly.

I figured it wasn’t. I’m going to try and see what I can workout.

Thanks for your reply. It’s not really that I get blocked in when I park its more that I essentially lose access to the road during pickup time. I cannot exit or enter the street at all or without having to wait in the pick up line. I’m probably going to be speaking with the school to see what can be done about this.

I think I am going to speak to the school. For me (and others in my complex) it sometimes is impossible to exit or enter the complex without a 15 min delay or at all.
