I really do suspect you'd still find your car there an hour later. But your exception really proves the rule, single lane segments might be the exception, like I said, it's a very very high bar for getting towed, you if completely block a road, any two lane section where cars still get past are fine, unless you park traverse and again block the road entirely. I don't for a moment think you're getting towed quickly otherwise. For that matter, I've seen plenty of vehicle partially blocking King parked but where cars can squeeze past, with no apparent bylaw response.
You may well be right. That makes me think though, and realize that my suggestion is so outrageous because nobody would ever do that. But blocking a bike lane is perfectly normal. And that in turn is why segregation needs to mean real segregation — a barrier which cars will not cross, certainly at minimum a real curb, and probably at least some bollards.
