I live in the 49th ward, have a CPS school on my street that blocks the street during drop off time, and have tried talking to crossing guards but still face issues getting to my home.

I'm baffled by this situation. Have you considered talking to your local city official? I find it hard to believe this is lawful. Even when downtown streets are closed for events, I'm still able to access my garage.

Start by addressing the issue with the school. If they don't respond, escalate the matter to the local city official. If that doesn't work, consider involving law enforcement. Regular school drop-offs shouldn't block entire streets, but it's worth starting at the source before taking further action.

A CPS school in my neighborhood temporarily changes two-way streets to one-way streets during drop-off and pick-up hours to create a 'loop' for parents. However, some parents disregard these changes, and residents in the affected area often drive normally.

To clarify, the school either physically blocks the street with barriers or cars simply block the street. Both scenarios are frustrating, but I'm not sure if a school is legally allowed to cordon off the street with a physical barrier. If the school is blocking the street, start by talking to the security guards. They're often friendly and might be willing to work with you to find a solution.

At the school my kid attends in the 25th ward, they set up cones to block the street directly in front of the school entrance about 5 minutes before the doors open. This third of the block is closed for approximately 15 minutes.

Is the street in question your only route to work? If so, I find it hard to believe this is lawful. If there's an alternative route available, consider taking that to avoid the hassle. However, if this is your only route, calmly but firmly demand that the crossing guard allow you to pass, and if necessary, take your concerns to the principal's office.
