Case Resolved | We expect the incidence of parking in the bike lane to decline over time as more of the flex posts and concrete curbing pieces are installed and the bike lanes are more defined and continuous. People have been used to parking on the curb and it'll take some time for them to figure out the new arrangement. To help expedite that process, we will seek additional parking enforcement in the immediate few months following construction. We need to work in partnership with our operations team to ensure they have the 7 feet of clearance for their maintenance vehicles (particularly street sweepers). As the project concludes, we work with the operations team to determine what is possible to ensure that the lanes remain closed to cars while still allowing them to be cleaned and cleared of snow.
