Guess this driver can't tell the difference.  This was taken tonight at 8:35PM on Kinzie (near Clinton)

I had to google that one and now I am chuckling.

While I'm usually one of the first to criticize the singage on Kinzie, it would seem that there are plenty cues (the bollards being a major one) that you should not have a car there. Although after having a discussion with the Gilt Bar's valet who was pulling cars through the bollards to combine the bike lane and parking lane into perpendicular parking spaces I've decided that there is a group of drivers who will play stupid about the protected lane to make their life easier.

I don't know-- I wasn't trying  to present it as a foregone conclusion-- just asking.  My question was aimed at the OP or anyone else able to stand at that exact spot and see what's what; the picture clearly doesn't present enough info. Sounds like you know the spot if you know what's on that sign?

In the picture, I can see a No Parking Tow Zone sign on the light pole just in front of the car.  Clear visual aid, or no?

Are there any overt visual aids that should have been a giveaway to the driver?

Or is this maybe a design/signage failure?

I like it.

I've had problems with the valet there as well, to the point of going in on one occasion and speaking to the manager. She was sympathetic and promised to follow up but I haven't seen an improvement since then. The valets actually encourage customers to pull in to the bike lane. Frustrating.

That was my thought until I made the mistake of trying to talk to him. It's a pity about the terrible valet. The Gilt seems like the sort of bar I'd like and it's on my way home, but I've never gone in there because I've had enough problems with their valet that I don't want to patronize them.
