You can say all you want about whether parking should or should not be on this stretch of road, but THE DECISION WAS ALREADY MADE. When they finalized the design, we were supposed to have protected bike lanes on both sides, with certain portions of dedicated parking.
The road was built, and nearly completed, to those specifications. Unfortunately the city felt the need to bend the original design to briefly serve a perceived parking need, and now many drivers are under the mistaken impression that there is more on-street parking available here than there should be. THAT is the main issue we are struggling with.
