Oh my goodness, what a horrible example of bike Lanes! The bike lanes were the buffer between traffic and parking spots, instead of the other way around, which is like one of the stupidest choices that could have been made. Was this a regional project, or a city project?
The same situation exists on Margaret Avenue in Kitchener. I’m not even sure it is the stupidest thing to do. If the bike lane is between parking and the curb, there is no escape from the door zone. With parking on the right, one can give an extra wide berth to avoid doors. And since the parking is very under-utilized on Margaret, you can usually just ride through the parking space.
