Description
People picking students up after school sometimes 'double-park' three deep here. They also have their engines on. Often they are in the bus stop, so us bus passengers have to enter/exit bus in the middle of the street. This further blocks up traffic because when the bus has to stop in 3rd lane, traffic cannot go by normally. This is dangerous, polluting, and illegal.

Hi there. Thanks for reporting.
The Clean Air Council has taken note of this location and will contact Masterman regarding the issue.
We are gathering data to identify idling hot spots, which then allows for targeted enforcement. Please continue to report idling you observe at this location, including time of day and type of vehicle. Thanks for your help!
If you think it would be helpful to hang an anti-idling sign at this location, the Council has some and could work with Masterman or the streets department to get it hung in this location. Just call or email if you think this would be fruitful.
