Why doesn't the city or county do something to decrease the risk of accidents at Kansas Highway 10 and the East Hills Business Park entrance? It's very dangerous.

A bus driver told me that the police refuse to come out and ticket vehicles that are parked in the downtown bus stop spots. The driver tells me that the police say that by the time they were to get to the stop, the vehicle would be gone. Is this true?
