“Dear PoPville,
Yesterday afternoon I was driving through an alley on the regular school-designated route (in blue) to pick my kid up from school. I was driving about 10 mph. As I was driving, a bike (in purple) turned the corner and very nearly hit the side of my car. Thankfully, the biker wasn’t hurt at all and didn’t fall of his bike.
