Same thing happens at every school every day with kids running between cars, but with deadlier results. Instead of pitting one VRU against another, protect both by teaching kids to look before crossing a bike lane, or have the bus drop kids off at a less busy location.
It looks like the parked cars is the main issue. Maybe we shouldn’t allow parking at bus stops?? That would certainly help with visibility. And bikes, like cars, need to stop for school buses.
Interesting that this is the area of Bedford that kept being painted over a few years ago because women riding their bikes on it wore shorts that were deemed too short.
