Watch out for school kids

So neighbors tell me the Spokane Police Department were on the spot this morning telling parents not to drop their kids off in the school bus zone at Grant Elementary. I’m not sure if that’s an ongoing problem or something that’s been made worse because of the snow? Traffic on Ninth Avenue by Grant gets a little crazy around school start time every morning, what between parked cars on the street and crossing guards on shepherding kids across Perry - so be careful when you drive by there.
Any parents or Grant neighbors wanting to weigh in on this?
