<p>People complain about red light cameras existing solely for the revenue generation. The reasoning for ticketing bike lane violations (and other vehicle violations) should center around:</p>
<p></p>
<p>1) safety</p>
<p>2) punishing selfish, obnoxious behavior</p>

<p>I had the very same response (it didn't make it into the article). What a great revenue generator AND it'll make people more safe. Win-Win! :-)</p>

<p>I appreciate the increase, but that's still only about six and a half per day over the entire city. I know single blocks where you could write more than that in 20 mins. There probably are six people illegally parked outside of the main post office right now.</p>

<p>Why won't Rahm think of the revenue it would generate?!?</p>

<p>This picture is an example of where enforcement of this law becomes tricky. Where is that driver supposed to let out a passenger? If the driver stops in the auto lane, that is just as illegal. From the driver's perspective, stopping in the bike lane obstructs fewer vehicles and allows the passenger to open the door over and immediately step onto a sidewalk.</p>

<p>People parking and idling in a bike lane should receive tickets. This picture shows what should be an exception.</p>
