NIMBY at its worst.
Daycare is expensive and often doesn’t have capacity, yet they won’t allow a harmless solution in their neighbourhood.
To everyone complaining about cars, 8 cars over 30-60 minutes every morning and afternoon is nothing.
If you design your neighborhoods so that people can use bicycles or walk safely, then you won't even have to worry about cars anymore
There's a daycare where parents are picking up kids in the afternoon.
You say 6-8 cars are no big deal, but you forget that - for these parents at least - NONE OF THEM CAN DRIVE. Even one will crush any through-traffic for like 20 minutes as they jostle about and try to park 2 feet from the door, come hell or high water. Park around the corner and walk 70m? HELL NO!
It's a gong show. I try to catch it every afternoon if I can, as I want to see Mother vs Mother in the Motherdome.
No. Wait. I have a better pun.
MATERNALLLLL COMMMMBAT !! Ready? FIGHT!
