Re: No-Parking Proposal for Mary Street Bike Lanes

I wish we'd see some intelligence about these parking lanes - marking individual parking spaces rather than striping a lane would probably solve a lot of problems with overlap, both at the transition points and into the bike lane. Also, consider that marking spaces, even on a piece of paper, makes it obvious when there's too little spaces to make it worth the disruption - consider that the lanes on Exposition northbound approaching Enfield go too far north - cars end up backed up from Enfield and the bike lane ends up blocked. There's room for one, maybe two, cars in a couple hundred feet of parking 'lane' in that problem stretch, once you eliminate driveways and whatnot.
