There should be zero need to have on-street parking on both sides of a residential street, when garages and driveways remain empty! If they end up cancelling these bike lanes, the city should be charging for parking at a rate of $100 per day per resident.
I guarantee you most garages are not empty, even if not used for vehicles people store stuff in them. And filling the driveway with a car in the garage is dumb because then you have to shuffle vehicles if you need to use the one in the garage.
Those "traffic calming" measures suck donkey balls. Unneccesary concrete islands and out juttings that prevent people parking, and the city expect the homeowners to mow/shovel those spaces
Also, why don't the cyclists use the alley ways? There is little car traffic there.
the side of the street is indeed a parking lot. Drive through most neighbourhoods, thats where most people park their cars, unless you live in a cul-de-sac.
