[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A school doesn't have the kind of parking impact that a grocery store has. It's mostly pickup/dropoff. River's had a very orderly carpool with minimal line during this coronavirus time, by the use of assigned carpool slots. But I imagine the move would change some of those dynamics. A lot of River parents walk their kids to school because they live in the nearby Palisades neighborhood.[/quote]

Yes, you are correct that a school does not have the same parking impact as a grocery store.  It has an even greater importance because we are talking about the safety and well being of children with the unloading and loading of children. You need proper space (parking spaces and/or garage) to do this. The current plan for River School does not have this.  42 parking spaces - 6 of those being pick-up and drop off - is not an adequate plan for a school of this size, especially one that wants to EXPAND more than half of its current size.  It wants to expand to 350 kids! That is more than that private school across the street.  Their website says it has 275 kids!  If you do not have the proper parking spaces there will be overflow. Where will that overflow go? Into the street and neighborhood causing massive congestion. [/quote]
