    Wait, they’re putting the meters back IN the cycletrack?

    Yup. According to the contractor the intention is to make the right hand lane parking, and you have to walk across the cycletrack to feed the meter. That’s an accident waiting to happen.

    People are still parking in the cycletracks anyway, so you might as well charge them. And maybe if there are tickets to be written (It doesn’t appear to actually be illegal to park in the cycletracks), the city might actually do some enforcement.

    That design actually works well in New York and other places because there is a physical 3-4 ft buffer between the parked cars and the off-street cycletrack when vehicle passengers can offload and let doors swing open. We won’t have that here…
