Description
Truck blocking the bus stop and bike lane. Truck shifted into reverse when the bus pulled up, but that's not really helpful for people trying to get on/off the bus from the curb. Before the truck tried to move many cyclists were trying to squeeze by the driver's door, but there was not nearly enough room to safely do so. I opted to dismount and walk up on the sidewalk, where I grabbed this picture before continuing on my way. As the truck began moving after taking the picture I did not bother calling CPD, posting here for "better data on where to enforce".
In addition to any sort of enforcement, can this bus stop and adjacent bike lane get some sort of priority pavement markings (red for the bus stop, green for the bike lane?) to better indicate that trucks can not stop here? Kind of like what was done just around the corner in front of the Draper Lab loading dock?
