<p>This woman illegally parked in the bike lane on Grand. She left her car entirely (she was nowhere in site) with the blinkers on. There are no offices where she parked so I assume her meeting was blocks away.</p>

<p>Sick of these people. Ticket em! </p>

<p>Both Dearborn and Kinzie were clear for me this morning. On Kinzie, I really hope they come back and repaint the lanes and reinstall the missing bollards after the construction work is complete. That will go a long way to inform drivers were to park.</p>

<p>Riding up Dearborn this morning, I was confronted by a SUV. The driver apparently presumed that Dearborn was a 2-way street for cars and that the bike lane was the southbound lane.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>A few blocks later, I came across a work van driving north in the lane. The driver continued in this manner for at least 2 blocks, despite numerous opportunities to switch into an auto traffic lane. </p>

<p>This does not make me feel "protected."</p>

<p>I just realized that the fine is $150 for not just parking but even idling in the bike lane. What I see more and more is people just sitting in their car, texting, etc. I thought you had to be parked (out of the car) to trigger a ticket. The law is actually tougher than that.</p>

<p>It's the Marriott...their lower entrance on Rush (not on Michigan Avenue. Take a look at the photo below....even the day when Google Maps photo'd the block there was illegal parking - marked in red. Note that the cab stand is on Rush in front of entrance and wraps around Grand. Desperate for airport fares the cabs park in the bike lane at the end of the cab stand on Grand (they are no longer in the cab stand obviously). Grand is one way going west btw.</p>

<p>I have been battling these cab drivers for two years and have called cpd many times. No luck.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Two ideas:</p>
<p>1) Could we get the cab stand removed on Grand? </p>
<p>2) Could the hotel doorman come out, find offenders, and refuse to let them pick up?</p>
