We're talking about Waterloo, not Kitchener. Do they follow the same rules? I thought that Waterloo by-law said that parking is not permitted in bike lanes, regardless of whether there are "no parking" signs.
I am not sure about Waterloo, all of the bike lanes I know of have "no parking" signed in them (except one section on Keats Way which is actually signed as "parking allowed"...and the city has not fixed it even though I reported it repeatedly). So I am quite sure they'll keep the signs.
I'm not sure if CoW bylaw enforce, but certainly they are .... lackadaisical about it, basically, not enforcing against delivery vehicles, and not really doing so quickly enough to enforce against the continual transient parking at schools for example.
Frankly, it's frustrating, as a user I feel that I am being "humored" when I report illegal bike lane parking.
