Description
Truck was parked obstructing the bike lane. To be fair, the driver was pretty close to the curb, so he's clearly trying, but the roadway is simply not wide enough to allow big trucks like this to park and not obstruct the bike lane. Clearly this isn't an issue that can be fixed overnight, so I'm reporting this in the hopes that it can be used by the City's loading zone study to actually put real loading zones in here that can fit large trucks.
And no, I didn't bother calling CPD.

Robert, I agree, but the fact is there isn't room for the truck to be parked here based on how the roadway is designed, therefore this is an issue that the City must be made aware of. Everyone appears to be doing the best they can in this poorly designed situation, but that doesn't mean it's ok.
At no point should any road user be forced into a dangerous situation, ever. There's no quick fix, but the City doesn't know about problems unless we report them, hence me reporting this problem, but not bothering to call CPD, because it's not the driver's fault that the City can't provide an adequate loading zone.
