[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What problems are you having with parking?  I always manage to find a space on the street, though sometimes that means a five minute walk instead of one minute, so I have to build that extra time into my schedule.  But I have NEVER not been able to find a space.[/quote]

I pick up every day at after care and here are the problems with parking that i have faced:

1. if you cannot park near, street parking could be a block or two away. The search plus parking and walking can take 15 minutes mid--day or after school. 
2.   If I get my younger child first, I prefer to park near the building and can about half the time. If not, I get to do that walk with a 2-yr-old
3. Crossing McKinley road can be hazardous. Most people stop for the cross walk but many don't. I'm positive that the school community and the neighbors respect the cross right but it's a thorough street so not everybody does.
4. About every couple of weeks, there's a clog on McKinley.  Maybe a truck is moving, maybe a bus is unloading or loading.

Upthread a current mcK parent spoke to how this is not negatively impacting her child and there might been some benefit.  I tend to agree.  I have not seen any down-side from an educational  position.  In fact, my child's teacher has used it in lessons.  They got to watch concrete pour once for example.
