From The Los Angeles Daily News: The new $56 million Porter Ranch Community School in Los Angeles is winning raves for its innovative curriculum and architecture, but it's also raising safety concerns because of a parking crunch that's emerged since the K-8 school opened a month ago. A shortage of parking spaces on campus and a ban on parking along nearby busy thoroughfares has sparked a flurry of meetings. planners who designed the campus back in 2008 didn't anticipate that 150 of the school's first 700 students would be kindergartners whose parents need a place to park while they walk their youngsters into class and pick them up after school.
