USPS won't budge
Observed by freshness on Wed, Nov 07 2007
I spoke politely to this driver a few weeks ago when he was parked in the bike lane reading the New York Post. Again I pointed out today that he can easily park at the curb (open space). Conversation:
Me: Excuse me, but there is a space open at the curb right there (pointing).
He: Wha?
Me: Could you please park at the curb, just there (pointing).
He: (pretends he can't understand English and replies in Spanish)
Me: This time I am gonna take your picture.
There's simply no reason he can't unload fifteen feet further ahead. He could still get in the door of this post office problem-free. In fact, parking at the curb would be easier since he wouldn't have to dodge parked cars. See also: http://nyc.mybikelane.com/post/index/2726
If the manager of this station received a few complaint cards with a printout of this posting, perhaps something might be done.

Is this right at the end of the buffered lane?

Yes, this is the block after the buffered lane. Enforcement has been stepped up between here and West 14th Street, and the situation has improved dramatically since the summer. This USPS driver just doesn't give a damn, but his supervisors probably would if they got a printout of these posts.
