Linen & Uniforms hates their company
233 bleecker st, New york, NY
In the new Bleecker Street bike lane, the laundry guys have a new place to park illegally and get their bosses higher fines. Rather than choosing available parking across the street in the No Parking zone, they opt for the No Standing Anytime zone—a much bigger fine, nearly double. Why do these guys hate their company so much? (We already know how much they hate bicyclists.) Because parking across the street would require they walk an extra 15 feet—with a handtruck that's about 10 seconds or less. Also they've nicely chewed through their rear license plate—a violation, because numbers are missing—so it would be tough to call 888-411-3231 and report their plate 63556 JD unless you went around to the front of the truck. You could also call their company at (718) 622-4710 to report this lousy parking; supervisors are always interested to know how their companies can reduce parking violation expenses.

If you go to the Department of Finance website, their violations have a similar pattern—no muni-meter receipt (they didn't pay the quarter), fire hydrant, traffic lane, expired meter. Maybe these guys also need a roll of quarters each day to save their company $$$?
Laundry outside Old Homestead

How many times can you park in the No Standing Anytime green zone before you change your behavior? How many times will you watch the guy on the bike snap your photo before you change your behavior? You have a handtruck; would it kill you to park legally 20 feet up the block and walk the extra 20 feet with your handtruck to make your delivery?
Even painted green, I'll still park here (1 of 2)
46 ninth ave, New york, NY
Two trucks blocking the fluorescent-green bike lane between West 14th and 15th Streets this morning. This was the laundry truck, just a few feet away was the dairy truck. What's the only way to stop these guys? Call their supervisors and ask why they refuse to park a few dozen feet up the street in a legal space. Walking the extra 30 or 40 feet won't kill them -- but parking here might kill a bicyclist forced into the traffic bottleneck at West 14th. That's why DOT painted this lane green, to highlight the danger.
