what is the point of a bike lane if people are going to fricking park in it?

if the bike lane stays, the residents should be ticketed for parking in it

if the bike lane is removed, nobody should bitch when bikes are riding in the car lanes again

who is it that doesn't want to share the road again?

A few things: the "lane" was originally created when they striped Glenmore to narrow the vehicle travel lane and add speed humps. A few years after, the city added bike lane paintings/signs but did not include "no parking" signs.

All lived in harmony, until 2-3 months ago.

As I said earlier, I've used Glenmore for over 6 years...outside of someone having a party, there are very few vehicles ever parked in the lanes; and are usually there for a short period of time (lawn care, home repair, delivery trucks, etc.)

The problem is that there isn't anywhere for people to park if they have company over, a party or are having work done on their house.. The street isnt setup for one or the other. The street needs to be shared by both residents and bikers.
