The bus stop is about 50 yards south of NFB & Yale at a signaled intersection of NFB and, I believe, Decatur Ave in Tonawanda. Instead of walking the 50 or so yards to the signaled intersection which she had to do anyhow to reach the bus stop, and crossing at the signaled intersection, out she wanders into traffic from Yale into the Blvd. She got caught in the middle, traffic whizzing by in both direction, until 2 school buses, running in parallel on the south bound lane of NFB, slowed significantly and held up following traffic so she could cross. You can’t plan for stupid or lazy.
