This is a question for legal scholars, but given that the bylaw explicitly lists "discharging passengers" as exceptions to the "no parking" law, (and discharging passengers, is also not "parking"), then it would seem the intent of the law is more narrow, than the strictest legal definition of "parking". Of course, IANAL.
When it comes right down too it though, laws or not seem irrelevant, contractor vehicles, people on cell phones, yard work vehicles all block bike lanes with equal impunity, and nobody seems to care.
Again, we are back to the double standard, where apparently if a general traffic lane were being blocked, it would be ticketable.
