Cross Walk on 10th Street in front of Kelley. The city and IU buses use the bus lanes in front of the library, past the crosswalk. The private apartment buses have turned the crosswalk into a bus stop. The students wait there. A bus pulls up, stops to load/unload. Pedestrians wanting to cross are blocked and back up. East-bound cars are backed up. The bus will sometimes wait if they see one of their clients coming down the sidewalk. Stops range from 15 sec to 45 seconds. Once the bus moves, the pedestrian backlog has to get across. The walkway, while necessary, is obviously a bottleneck. Having a private bus stop and block it for no reason only adds to the problem. Make the private buses (and their riders) walk up to the bus pull off lanes like everyone else. The back up on 10th street is already at a failing level. There is no reason to let private apartment transit buses make it worse.
