The resident's idea, as submitted

The idea

Eastbound bike lane should be separated or parking protected, or there should be any effort made to prevent illegal double-parking.

Who it helps and why

Bicycle users headed eastbound on D St. will be certain to encounter illegal double parking, usually multiple vehicles along this retail stretch, forcing them out into the road where they are likely to be hit by cars. All residents of the City deserve safety from being killed by cars. A protected lane would also improve safety for customers of these businesses getting into or out of their vehicles, which is also a regular occurrence. Similar to the recent improvements on A St.
