This scenario at this corner happens more days than not. There is legal parking just a bit ahead, but usually in use. The bike lane curves out around the parking area (which is bad enough). However delivery vans seem to consider this zone in the bike lane to be their convenient private parking spot. I know they are just trying to do their job, but they are making it so much more dangerous for cyclists. This is a very busy intersection. Check the second picture to see the clearance of a truck passing the parked truck... deadly.

One of the worst offenders in the city

Guess pedestrians don't really need to cross at that crosswalk where the no stopping and speed signs are, either.

Yep, this is the second time I got this guy. It was during the same walk 8 minute walk that I took.. Infact, everything I have posted today is from the same 8 min walk... aka. St George was litered with cars in the bike lane.

I would have had this guy a thrid time but I wassn't quick enough.

Sad thing is. In my first photo, there is a driveway right there.

Purolator truck on Runnymede. Right next to a big, mostly empty parking lot at the Runnymede Health Centre where the package was being delivered.

A delivery of no doubt critically important ephemera caused the lane to be no doubt justifiably blocked. Whoops! But what's that flapping on the windshield? Ticket time!

Alas, just a cost of doing business :(

Interior of truck lightened to show lounging delivery personnel. No stopping, no parking, bike lane.

... it just makes for the perfect photograph. Couple that with the City Hall clock behind (6:45pm) and you have the entire offense encapsulated in one frame.

So yah, this driver did at the very least pull into a parking space. Note, however, how the amount of curb space to the right of the truck is pretty much equal to how far they're poking into the bike lane.

An "A" for effort, though.

So, that's the last of the vehicles I encountered in ONE trip along college. Nine, all told. Pretty grim, really.

Yet another Purolator Parked In the Bikelane (YAPPIB).

This is on the strange one block long bike lane on Prince Arthur Ave.

They can park anywhere they want, because they are delivering.
