Maybe they should have used the right-most lane of Classen as a drop-off lane removed from traffic like they do in your example? It's almost like their schools face their drop-off zone or something.....
Yea this argument would make sense if there was a specific drop off zone created for the primrose school just so they could have the front face their “drop off zone.” But what you are seeing is just public on street parallel parking and bike lanes that run down both sides of the street well beyond the school. It was clearly not done specifically for school drop off and was actually put in after the school had been designed, built, and operating.

If you are suggesting that the building’s urban design influenced the city into going in and implementing the complete redesign and road diet of an entire area after the fact, then I would say that is a great argument for insisting on good urban design here. Good design often leads to more good design.
