School is about to start for the day and all is peaceful in the Glen Iris street adjoining the private school, where new parking restrictions have been imposed.
School is about to start at Caulfield Grammar, and in the Glen Iris streets nearby, all is calm – a big change from the bumper-to-bumper traffic that residents say they have long endured.
Coates, who has lived next to Caulfield Grammar for more than 30 years, said that before the parking was changed the roads were chaotic.Traffic was limited to one way because cars were parked on either side of the street – and sometimes across residents’ driveways – he said. “It was effectively a local school,” Coates said. “It was not a big business like this school is now, and it had a different culture.”
Another resident, who asked not to be named because he feared a backlash from the school, said nearby Sacre Coeur and Korowa had invested heavily to provide space for parking while Caulfield Grammar had not. “In our discussions with the City of Stonnington, we are reiterating a request to explore previously tabled traffic management options that reduce risk for all community members,” he said. “We look forward to contributing to a respectful discussion with all stakeholders over the coming weeks as, together, we seek to arrive at a fair and sensible solution.”
But parent Daniel Foley said the parking changes were having a negative impact on parents who had to park further away.
