UPS

BAY, ST and Albert ST, Ottawa, ON

It’s the second time I see her parked there. Vehicule #572993. But who cares, as long as the package is delivered on time. A police officer told me that the driver doesn't pay the tickets, UPS does.

Why not the other side?

Stewart at Nelson, Ottawa, ON

Yet another person who chose to stop in the bike lane when it would have been perfectly legal to park on the other side. Sigh.

Sitting there for a wee while

Laurier Westbound (just east of bridge over canal), Ottawa, ON

Who knows how long this guy sat there; I noticed him there from when I could first see this "fishing hole" for bike lane shots. Maybe a few hundred more of these before the city actually starts ticketing people.

Well HE did it!

Laurier Westbound (just east of bridge over canal), Ottawa, ON

I saw the front car sitting there from a long distance back. This civic pulled in behind him.

Open door

Laurier Westbound (just east of bridge over canal), Ottawa, ON

Not like stopping in the bike lane is enough, why not open the door whilst a bike is passing and be even wider!

Other side

Stewart at Nelson, Ottawa, ON

I have started using this route for commuting and unfortunately, it seems to be a jackpot for bike lane violations. Especially when you're allowed to park on the other side, why would you go there?

Especially during construction!

Laurier Westbound (on bridge over canal), Ottawa, ON

Not only are motorists cranky that they have to merge into one lane, then this guy decides to take the bike lane away as well.

Lip service

Laurier Westbound (just east of bridge over canal), Ottawa, ON

I told this guy on Thursday that I would really appreciate it if he didn't stop in the bike lane as it is dangerous for me and illegal. He responded with a kind "okay". I guess he really didn't mean what he said.

It continues

Laurier Westbound (just east of bridge over canal), Ottawa, ON

At least this guy didn't try to justify that he is allowed to stop there when I kindly asked him not to park there.

Above the law?

Laurier Westbound (just east of bridge over canal), Ottawa, ON

This driver frequently parks in the bike lane on Laurier (westbound) just west of Nicholas to make deliveries to DND. When I kindly asked him not to park there as it is illegal and dangerous, he said he is going to continue to to make deliveries. He flashed me his DND ID badge; like that authorizes him to break the law or something. I have caught this guy at least three times in two weeks. Incidentally, he had his phone in his hand whilst driving every time.

Stewart Street

Stewart Street, Ottawa, ON

Because the snow isn't cleared, cars park in bike lanes. And because cars park in bike lanes, the snow isn't cleared.

Three police cruisers on Mackenzie-King bridge

Mackenzie-King bridge, Ottawa, ON

I've been holding onto this photo for a few years now.

The Mackenzie-King bridge is notorious for cars parked in the bike lanes running down the centre (there are bus lanes on the curb side, for the bus stop on the bridge). One thing that facilitates this is an indentation in the curb that, combined with the bike lane, provides a spot just wide enough to park a car.

Despite the pleas of ignored "no stopping" signs, people still park in these lanes to pick people up and to drop them off. The City has done plenty of studying of this problem, yet the only thing they could come up with is a $60,000 solution--to come from the cycling budget! Even though it's not cyclists causing the problem!

This photo takes the cake, though. Not one, not two, but three police cruisers. Obviously they're parked there to not interrupt any traffic. Because bikes are somehow not traffic.

Go figure.
