[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They've set up the hub bus stops so they're all at major buildings, which means they're also on very busy roads that kids have to cross.  If APS moved them to be in the middle of neighborhoods instead, kids would have to cross far fewer major roads to get to their hub stop, and they'd have to wait on less busy streets.[/quote]

I don't think that's true. A lot of the hub stops are at elementary schools, so getting to them is the same as walking to an elementary school. [/quote]
The hub stop at Hamm makes a lot of kids cross Langston.  At Glebe elementary has lots of kids crossing Glebe. The ASFS stop has kids crossing Quincy or Fairfax/Washington Blvd.  The Barrett stop has kids crossing George Mason.  It's probably not true in every instance, but I do think the stops could be better thought out.[/quote]

My 6th grader crossed Landon every day for their neighborhood school. Except for the very youngest crossing Langston at a light is appropriate.

OP is talking about high schooler. When I was in high school I was walking alone in Boston.

Unless she is crossing 50 without an overpass (which I can’t see how is possible from high school boundaries), these are all reasonable crossings.

Now it sounds like they went to an old stop, so maybe it was just a mistake, but who knows  [/quote]

Crossed *Langston. [/quote]
