Why are buses allowed to barrel down residential Barker Avenue?

I'm guessing that the buses are coming off Interstate 287 onto North Broadway heading south to the Transcenter (Transmania as I call it) near the train station.  The buses make a right onto Barker Avenue and barrell down hill.

Barker Avenue is a residential street with eight apartment buildings for two blocks.  It turns into Water Street where there are businesses.  The city could ban buses from going down Barker and instead have them go one block further south on Broadway and make a right onto Hamilton Avenue, which has no residential buildings. Hamilton is already pedestrian hostile and wouldn't be made much worse with some buses.

It's appalling that the city does not seem to consider stuff like this.  It's all about moving vehicles.  Oh, and parking.  Lots of parking.
