commercial vehicles using the alley east of 1st St NW, north of U St NW

See this message and pics from a V St NW resident:
  
Please see attached some photos that I was able to take of the bus coming down the alley and a Smoot trucking turning around.
    
Barrels or no barrels, that bus is too large to come through the alley.  As for the truck - to turn around it had to 'hang' over the sidewalks to
maneuver.

Is there something illegal about this?

I don't think it is safe for children on the school bus to have to be driven down these alleys, some of which have very bad surfacing and potholes, not to mention the narrowness and lack of passage size. DC Education dept should be looking into this as well, and especially if there's children with special needs on the bus who don't need to be lurched around.
