<p>Sigh. I feel like I'm tilting at windmills most days. 23 reports submitted today. F*cking crazy.</p>

<p>Yes, I submit every report to 311, in addition to BLU. I've added over 100 reports since late October.</p>
<p>I'm now pushing close to 1000 311 reports. I'm a little surprised I've never been contacted by the city. A good percentage of reports are taxis and livery services.</p>

<p>Don't forget to submit to 311 if it is a city licensed vehicle - taxi, livery vehicle, even rideshare. They will actually pursue and ticket since it's an easy way for them to get revenue.</p>
<p>I submitted a livery vehicle to 311 once and I submitted a written affadavit then testified over the phone. Driver got a ticket, fine, and had to take a class.</p>
<p>I submitted an Uber driver next time - got a letter saying "it has been marked against this driver's record." Not sure what that…</p>

<p>I just submitted my 600th report to BLU. The reports include over 450 reports on Franklin St. alone, and yet I've never seen a Finance Dept. patrol on Franklin. I really question what the city is doing with the data.</p>

<p>I really appreciate the work that Christina Whitehouse has put into this effort. I believe the data will be useful and persuasive for DOT's to plan bike infrastructure improvements, plus I find photographing and reporting individuals who block our hard-fought bike infrastructure to be a cathartic experience. </p>

<p>I also believe that (in some cases) the sight of someone stopping and photographing this behavior will make people more aware that what they're doing is illegal, and may make them think twice about doing it in the future. </p>
<p></p>
<p>Everyone who rides in our city should be on this website, reporting violations. The only way this behavior will change is through community pressure. </p>
