In one block (St. Nick between 123rd and 122nd), there were seven NYPD cruisers and personal vehicles parked in the bike lane. See this and other posts for photos of scores of NYPD personal vehicles parked on the sidewalk on the same block. Where are pedestrians and cyclists supposed to go?

This is in the SEZ for the 28th precinct. This SEZ, like most in this city, is WAY too small to hold all the vehicles it needs too.
Like I've said before, lets move the sidewalk in to half it's current size, make the entire block angle parking only, and make both sides NYPD only. This should make everyone happy. It would still leave room for pedestrians, and add valuable "legal" parking spaces to the SEZ.
While doing this for all precincts would be expensive, I feel that it is infact a very fair compromise for both the City and private citizens.

bike lane? what bike lane? I thought that was a double parking lane. matter of factly, that bike lane is too small, and in the wrong place. it also looks like these cops are all parked on the sidewalk, which is too small to be reduced any further. poor city planning, and poor professionalism and lack of respect. we need to move the bike lane to a better place.

Where would you like them to put the bike lane? In the middle of the street?

I wouldn't use that bike lane if it were clear and you paid me to.

How about this: Instead of blocking "no parking areas" or bike lanes with personal vehicles (these aren't squad cars) the people use public transportation to get to work and use the SEZ for squad cars only.
