The problem with parking and bike lanes

Is that cars are parking against the bike lane stripe rather then against the curb.

It seems to me that along Roland Av we had a mostly usable area between parked cars and the travel lane, now that it is marked as a bike lane too many cars are not parking against the curb and too many cars in the travel lane are not scooting over if you ride the stripe or in the travel lane to avoid the door zone of parked cars (3-4 feet.) Comments would be appreciated.

  1. My apartment is a little further up University Parkway from the photo. For me, the joggers and walkers in the bike lanes are the worst. It’s not like we don’t have a nice sidewalk with few people on it for people to jog on. But you’re totally right about the bad parking on this street. Heck, sometimes people just double-park in front of my building, right next to open parking spaces, totally blocking the bike lane! Geez:)
