Just an update-- this morning when I traveled down that street, there were 7 vehicles and the porta-potty parked in the bike lane in that one block. And I almost hit a guy there who stepped out into the street without looking, while talking on his phone.

I contacted my city councilman also, and he (actually his assitant) apologized for the incovenience. Of course, it is the city's refusal to enforce the law that's the problem, not any incovenience...

There's some talk of having a porta-potty moving party Friday night, if it's still there. Turns out there are no shortage of cyclists around here who are tired of the city's enthusiam for putting in bike lanes, but not making the necessary effort to keep them passable.
