Description
Really appreciate the bike lane and the new configuration with Brattle St. here, biking feels much safer now. However, it is now much harder and more dangerous to merge into traffic from a separate lane if there are vehicles stopped in the lane, which happens quite often with both taxis but more so with Uber/Lyft cars. Perhaps a large "NO STOPPING, drive around the block" sign would help?

hahaha if only they'd drive around the block.
sorry, I just couldn't help it.
the phenomenon of Uber/Lyft and all its attendant nuisance factors.
As a driver, they're always hurrying to cut in front of me, only to slow down, weave in the lane and are presumably looking around for their fare.
I know the taxi hackney-license sitaution was begging for disruption, but this is absurd.
City Hall/Traffic folks: I salute you trying to find ways to get these drivers to behave in a moderately sane fashion.

Thank you for reporting. We will check that the appropriate No Stopping regulations are posted in this area.
