Description

First Student has a bus driver that uses Union Street as an all day parking place for their bus on weekdays. The bus parks near the corner of Union and Fair Streets. This intersection is a busy spot for cars and walkers. High School in the Community is located in this spot and many of their students are walkers who need to cross that intersection. Unfortunately, the intersection is a dangerous one and the site of frequent accidents. The bus that is parked along Union St chooses to park at the corner, and it obstructs the view of drivers and walkers. It is particularly dangerous to turn left from Fair onto Union or to go straight. There is no clear line of sight when the bus is parked at the intersection. Union Street should not be a parking lot for First Student buses, particularly when it results in safety issues for walkers and drivers.
