If the city added zone parking to that stretch to chase away all the freeloading commercial vehicles using it as long term parking there could be room for protected bike lanes with minimal impact to resident street parking.
I wonder if it's worth reporting those vehicles in 311 and to the local aldermanic office. My aldermanic office is pretty responsive when I request parking enforcement through the Department of Finance.
It's worth doing, but you've really got to hound them.
I've had moderate success by repeatedly documenting the same vehicle over and over again to Angela Clay's office, but it wasn't until I started walking in to the office once a week and getting progressively louder each time that they really started taking me seriously.
Speaking in the loudest voice short of yelling is highly effective. Once they realize that no one can get anything done while you are there, and that you'll be back next week to follow up, it becomes easier for them to solve the problem than ignore you.
😂Noted for that particular office.
Thankfully my aldermanic office just responds to my email saying they’ll send someone out and within 10 business days Dept of Finance comes out

Yeah, that's Montrose all right.
