MyBikeLane

Morning deliveries on Ninth Avenue just above 14th Street. Every day it's the same thing—delivery trucks that regularly violate No Standing Anytime by parking in the green zone here directly in front of their clients' restaurants. Whether it's Sysco, the tomato van, or the uniform guys, this redesigned traffic area becomes a parking lot. The other side of the street and nearby side street and 30 feet up the street offer legal parking, but when you're a delivery guy you believe in your god-given right to park in No Standing Anytime zones for as long as you want. Problem here is the bottleneck as traffic approaches 14th Street, making this new bike lane extremely dangerous for bikers. $345 of tickets accrued since 09/04/07.
