Cycling in Waterloo Region

[danbrotherston]

I think this is further evidence for a more permanent bike lane structure that drivers CAN'T park in

But what is that? Certainly the drivers could get over the curbs and through the bollards, but as the earlier video showed, you can just enter the bike lane at the roadway, well, now what, we can't have wide bike lanes (less social)?  We have bollards *in* the bike (dangerous to cyclists)?

There are trade offs, maybe we haven't yet struck the right balance, but I do think that this occurrance is relatively rare compared with cars parking in unprotected bike lanes....this is shown by the response to these occurrences (police action, news stories, etc.) as compared with the normal response to bike lane parking: *crickets*. Whether there are enough illegal parking to make a meaningful degredation of the use of the bike lanes...I don't know. I haven't experienced it but I'm only a single data point.
