The City is not responsible for snow clearing at schools - that would be the school boards.

One last observation from this project - we can watch the deterioration of the signs in real time. Not sure why this sign exists given most other bus stops operate totally fine without it, but you'd think someone would eventually care either way - if this sign and pole it's on has a purpose it should be maintained, if not it should be removed.

This limbo purgatory state where street materials must stay and never change, but also have no purpose or usefulness is really becoming a central thesis of my documentation project here I think.

I believe they usually put those signs at bus stops near on-street parking, in an attempt to prevent cars from parking too close to the stop and blocking buses from pulling in & out. That one in particular could be very old since it's the legacy design (from before CT redid their signage to the current style in 1998). A number of the older bus zone pointer signs like this were not replaced, I assume because they weren't considered important enough.
