[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Exacerbating this problem is the fact that only maybe a quarter of households live west of the school. More than 3/4 of families are coming from the direction that requires a left turn into the lot. In the morning, when trying to get multiple kids to schools, get to work, appts, dealing with the general chaos of the morning, parents are then having to legally or otherwise u-turn to get in line. And with multiple cars coming from that direction all doing the same, well, now you have a seriously dangerous cluster f#*$.

This is a good point.  Most people are coming from the east to pick up at Chesterbrook.  Therefore, they have to drive *past* the school to turn around somehow, somewhere up Kirby and join a ridiculously long line.  I get the "left turns" are more dangerous argument, BUT most folks are coming from the direction that would benefit from a left turn into the Chesterbrook Kiss n Ride lot.  Perhaps folks could line up in the Baptist church parking lot or something.  We need innovative solutions!  As pp said, Kirby will be reduced to ONE LANE for months between the Chesterbrook pool and St Dunstan's.  Plus, St Dustan's is actually the Brooksfield Montessori School!  They have their traffic concerns as well.[/quote]
