As mentioned, it's hard to judge with that playback speed, but it looked like a situation where he/she was changing lanes right at the same time that you were moving left, which can be pretty bad because a lot of drivers will be looking at what is coming from behind at that point, and not necessarily noticing something that was ahead of them and now moving into the lane that was empty a few seconds prior. Plus all the cars stacked in the left turning lane only exacerbating the situation. I'm definitely not trying to say you did something wrong, just that I wouldn't want to have to ride through there every day.

Edit: just watched it again and I now see there are three lanes of traffic, and that wan't a left turn lane but just the center lane for proceeding straight. Anyway, it's still a bit iffy for me. I also saw the school but thing, and while I know you said you weren't going fast, I wouldn't have ridden through there with the doors open.
