QUAKERTOWN, Pa. - Parents in a Bucks County school district have some concerns about school bus safety.
They’re not worried about the buses, but about the location of a bus stop.
The corner of Fairmont Drive in Quakertown became a school bus stop a few years ago after a nearby housing development was completed. But people who live around here say it’s an awful place for a bus stop because of a nearby porn shop.
The Adult World Video Superstore is no more than 100 feet away on nearby Route 309. Parents in this community are demanding the school district move the bus stop to another location.
The school district’s business administrator, Sylvia Lenz, told Action News, “We take the safety of our children very seriously. The matter is being investigated regarding other possible bus stops.”
Lenz also said the district receives dozens of requests to move other bus stop locations for various safety concerns every year. Accommodating all of them is all but impossible, she said.
Parents here are hoping this issue is considered a priority.
