I submitted for this credit and received the comments back with a pending designation...I am complying with Option 1 - Bus Rapid Transit station but they want to see a revised site drawing showing the dedicated walking or biking lanes to the transit that extend from each school building at least to the end of the school property in two or more directions. Please someone clarify exactly what they are looking for, it is one transit stop, why would i need to two different directions to this transit stop. Do they mean two different paths ON the school property to exit off the campus? I have one main entrance with a couple emergency exit gates around the perimeter of the school.

Did your original submission show any sidewalks or walking route from the school entry to the bus stop? I think the credit intent is to provide safe walking routes along the edge of the school property whenever possible for people walking, biking, and taking a bus. If you only have one entrance that is regularly used, and that entry is at the property line, than you probably don't have "control" of the area outside your entry. If you are not be able to create walking lanes on the public street, make that clear in your drawing or narrative.
